Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect welding procedures for carbon steel, leading to brittle joints.Always preheat carbon steel according to recommended guidelines for its grade and thickness, and use appropriate filler metals and post-weld heat treatment if necessary.
Failing to account for thermal expansion during fabrication or installation.Incorporate expansion joints or clearances in designs where significant temperature fluctuations are expected to prevent structural stress.
