Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inadequate fasteners for the sheet's gauge and intended load.Always select fasteners (welds, bolts, rivets) rated for the tensile and shear forces expected in the application, considering the 0.270" steel thickness.
Failing to account for thermal expansion during welding, potentially causing warping.Employ proper welding procedures, including preheating and controlled cooling, to mitigate stress and prevent distortion of the carbon steel.

Common Applications
