Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inadequate fastening methods for the application's load requirements.Always select fasteners (welds, bolts, rivets) rated to exceed the expected operational stress and shear forces.
Failing to account for potential corrosion in the operating environment.If the application involves exposure to moisture or corrosive elements, consider applying a protective coating or using a corrosion-resistant grade of steel if available and suitable.
