Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners for the sheet's thickness and intended load.Select fasteners (bolts, rivets) with adequate shear strength and diameter to safely support the anticipated weight and stresses applied to the sheet.
Insufficient edge preparation before welding or joining.Properly bevel edges to ensure full weld penetration and structural integrity, especially for high-stress applications.

Common Applications

  • Custom shelving and racking systems
  • Reinforcement plates for heavy machinery
