| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel tools for cutting or grinding, leading to iron contamination and potential rust spots. | Always use dedicated stainless steel cutting wheels, blades, and tools that have not been used with carbon steel. Clean tools and work surfaces thoroughly before and after use. |
| Insufficient support during welding, causing distortion or warping of the thick sheet. | Employ robust clamping and fixturing to maintain sheet flatness during welding. Consider using a welding backing strip to prevent burn-through and ensure consistent bead quality. |
