Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to burrs and compromised edge integrity.Employ high-quality abrasive or plasma cutters appropriate for the carbon steel thickness to ensure clean, precise edges.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding, resulting in weak or porous welds.Thoroughly clean weld areas of rust, mill scale, and contaminants using wire brushes or grinding wheels prior to welding.

Common Applications
