Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools for carbon steel.Employ high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for ferrous metals to prevent premature tool wear and ensure clean cuts.
Neglecting to account for thermal expansion during heat treatment.Allow for potential expansion and contraction during any heat treatment processes to maintain critical dimensions and prevent warping.
