Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools which can lead to burrs and deformation.Employ high-quality, sharp cutting tools designed for carbon steel, such as abrasive cutoff wheels or plasma cutters, and ensure proper clamping.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding, resulting in poor weld integrity.Thoroughly clean the welding area to remove mill scale, rust, oil, and any other contaminants using wire brushes and degreasers.

Common Applications
