Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a general-purpose steel for high-friction applications.Always select a carbon steel specifically graded for lubricating or wear-resistant properties to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Improper surface preparation leading to premature wear.Thoroughly degrease and, if necessary, apply a suitable lubricant or anti-corrosion coating to the fabricated component before installation.

Common Applications

  • Wear plates in conveyor systems
  • Slides and guides in machinery
  • Components for bearing surfaces

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and fabricating steel.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation during cutting and welding operations.
