| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using undersized fasteners or inadequate welding procedures for the material thickness. | Always consult material strength data and select fasteners and welding techniques that match or exceed the tensile strength of 0.173" carbon steel. |
| Neglecting proper edge preparation, leading to poor weld penetration or structural weakness. | Thoroughly clean all edges to be joined and apply appropriate beveling if specified for optimal weld fusion and joint integrity. |
