Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a thinner gauge for high-stress applications.Always select a steel gauge that exceeds the calculated load requirements and is appropriate for the intended application's stress factors.
Neglecting surface preparation before welding or coating.Thoroughly clean all surfaces to be joined or coated to ensure proper adhesion and structural integrity, removing mill scale, rust, and contaminants.
