Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools, leading to contamination and reduced corrosion resistance.Employ dedicated stainless steel cutting tools and ensure they are clean and free from carbon steel residue.
Improper storage, resulting in scratches or dents that can compromise structural integrity.Store sheets flat on a clean, dry surface, ideally with protective film or spacing material between sheets.
