Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel for high-corrosion environments without protective coating.Apply a suitable protective coating (e.g., primer, paint, galvanization) or select a corrosion-resistant alloy if the application involves significant moisture or chemical exposure.
Inadequate edge preparation before welding, leading to weak or compromised joints.Ensure proper edge preparation, including beveling or cleaning, according to industry best practices and welding procedure specifications before initiating any welding operations.
