Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized or inappropriate fasteners for the application's load requirements.Always select fasteners with a tensile strength and shear strength rating that exceeds the anticipated load on the carbon steel sheet. Consult engineering specifications for recommended fastener types and sizes.
Inadequate surface preparation leading to poor adhesion or premature corrosion.Thoroughly clean and degrease the mounting surface and the carbon steel sheet before installation. For corrosive environments, consider applying a protective coating or primer.

Common Applications
