Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools that can cause galling or undesirable edge deformation.Employ high-quality carbide or diamond-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for stainless steel, and utilize appropriate cutting fluids to minimize heat buildup and friction.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding, leading to porosity or weak joints.Thoroughly clean the weld area with a degreaser and wire brush to remove any oil, dirt, or oxide layers. Consider using an inert gas purge for optimal weld quality.
