Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard mild steel for high-stress applications.Ensure the carbon steel grade selected meets the specific tensile strength and load-bearing requirements of your application.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding or coating.Thoroughly clean the steel surface to remove mill scale, oil, and rust to ensure proper adhesion and weld integrity.
