Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to burrs or material deformation.Employ high-quality cutting tools specifically designed for carbon steel, such as abrasive cut-off wheels or plasma cutters, and deburr edges thoroughly.
Inadequate surface preparation before joining, leading to weak welds or leaks.Thoroughly clean all surfaces to be joined, removing any mill scale, rust, oil, or other contaminants using wire brushing, grinding, or solvent cleaning.

Common Applications
