Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard mild steel for high-stress applications.Always select a carbon steel grade with appropriate tensile strength and yield point for the intended load-bearing requirements.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding or coating.Thoroughly clean the surface of any grease, oil, rust, or mill scale to ensure proper adhesion and weld integrity.

Common Applications
