Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools for carbon steel, leading to poor edge quality.Employ high-quality cutting tools specifically designed for carbon steel, such as abrasive saws or plasma cutters, for clean and precise cuts.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding, resulting in weak joints.Thoroughly clean the weld area to remove rust, scale, and any contaminants. Use a wire brush or grinder for optimal surface preparation.
