Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to jagged edges or material damage.Employ high-quality metal cutting tools such as abrasive saws, plasma cutters, or shear machines appropriate for the sheet's thickness.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding, resulting in weak or porous welds.Thoroughly clean and degrease the weld area, removing any rust, paint, or mill scale to ensure optimal weld penetration and strength.

Common Applications

  • HVAC ductwork fabrication
