Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel for high-humidity environments without protective coatings.Apply a corrosion-resistant coating or plating to the carbon steel to prevent rust and degradation in moisture-rich applications.
Inadequate grounding or bonding due to improper material selection or installation.Ensure the carbon steel sheet is properly integrated into the grounding system and that all connections are clean and secure for effective conductivity.

Common Applications
