| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel cutting tools which can cause contamination and reduce corrosion resistance. | Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting tools (e.g., abrasive cut-off wheels, plasma cutters) and ensure thorough cleaning after any potential cross-contamination. |
| Inadequate consideration of the material's thermal expansion during fabrication, potentially leading to distortion in high-temperature applications. | Account for thermal expansion coefficients during design and fabrication, incorporating expansion joints or flexible connections where necessary. |
