Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using thinner gauge steel for high-stress applications.Always select a carbon steel sheet with adequate thickness and tensile strength for the anticipated load and operational demands.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding or fastening.Thoroughly clean and degrease the steel surface to ensure proper adhesion and weld quality, preventing premature failure.

Common Applications
