Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive heat during cutting, leading to material hardening or warping.Employ controlled cutting methods such as abrasive waterjet or precise laser cutting. If thermal cutting is necessary, use low heat input and follow with annealing if specified by the application.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding or assembly, resulting in poor bond strength or leaks.Thoroughly degrease and lightly abrade the mating surfaces to ensure optimal adhesion and a clean weld penetration.
