Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners for structural applications.Always consult engineering drawings and use fasteners with sufficient shear and tensile strength ratings appropriate for the load and material thickness.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding.Thoroughly clean the weld joint of any rust, paint, oil, or contaminants to ensure a strong and defect-free weld.

Common Applications
