Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners for critical structural applications.Always calculate the required fastener size and type based on the anticipated load and the shear/tensile strength of both the fasteners and the steel sheet.
Neglecting surface preparation prior to welding or coating.Thoroughly clean the carbon steel surface to remove mill scale, rust, and oils before welding or applying protective coatings to ensure proper adhesion and prevent weld defects.
