Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect welding parameters for the carbon steel thickness.Consult welding procedure specifications (WPS) relevant to 0.122" carbon steel to ensure proper heat input and penetration.
Failing to account for material spring-back during bending operations.Perform test bends on scrap material to determine the necessary over-bend allowance for achieving the desired final angle.

Common Applications

  • Structural Supports
  • Custom Brackets and Fixtures
  • Machine Guards and Enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection when fabricating.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation when performing welding or cutting operations to avoid inhalation of fumes and particulate matter.
