Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Inadequate surface preparation before welding or fastening.Thoroughly clean the contact surfaces of both the sheet and adjoining components to remove rust, oil, and debris for optimal adhesion and structural integrity.
Overheating during welding, leading to material degradation.Utilize appropriate welding procedures and heat input control for carbon steel of this thickness to prevent excessive grain growth or embrittlement.
