Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools which can lead to carbide precipitation and reduced corrosion resistance.Utilize dedicated stainless steel cutting tools and maintain appropriate speeds and feeds to prevent overheating and contamination.
Improper welding techniques resulting in heat-affected zones that compromise corrosion resistance.Employ TIG or MIG welding with appropriate filler material for 316 stainless steel, minimizing heat input and post-weld cleaning.
