Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools for carbon steel, leading to burrs or material damage.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for steel to ensure clean cuts and minimize post-processing.
Inadequate pre-heating or post-heating during welding of thicker sections, causing cracking.Follow recommended pre-heating and post-heating procedures for the specific carbon steel grade and thickness to manage thermal stresses and prevent weld defects.

Common Applications
