Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel for critical electrical grounding applications.Ensure the carbon steel used meets specific conductivity and corrosion resistance requirements for grounding, or consider galvanized or stainless steel options where necessary.
Insufficient edge preparation before welding, leading to poor joint integrity.Bevel edges appropriately for the thickness of the material to ensure full weld penetration and strength.
