Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel tools for cutting or machining, leading to contamination and reduced corrosion resistance.Utilize dedicated tools made from high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide for all cutting, drilling, and machining operations on 316 stainless steel.
Improper cleaning after fabrication, leaving behind metal particles or residues that can initiate corrosion.Thoroughly degrease and passivate the fabricated components using appropriate stainless steel cleaning agents and procedures to restore optimal corrosion resistance.
