Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel for high-corrosion environments without protective coating.Apply appropriate coatings (e.g., galvanization, paint) or select corrosion-resistant alloys for such applications.
Overheating during welding, leading to material degradation.Control weld heat input according to recommended procedures for 0.028" carbon steel to prevent embrittlement.
