| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel fasteners with 316 stainless steel, leading to galvanic corrosion. | Always use 316 stainless steel or compatible high-grade fasteners to maintain the corrosion resistance of the entire assembly. |
| Inadequate edge preparation before welding, resulting in compromised weld strength and increased susceptibility to corrosion. | Thoroughly clean and bevel edges according to welding procedure specifications before initiating the welding process. |
