Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Inadequate surface preparation leading to uneven load distribution.Thoroughly clean and level the mounting surface to ensure full contact and support for the steel sheet.
Using fasteners not rated for the shear and tensile loads the sheet will experience.Consult engineering specifications for the application and select fasteners (welds or bolts) with sufficient load-bearing capacity for carbon steel.

Common Applications
