Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inadequate fasteners for the thickness and intended load.Select fasteners (bolts, rivets) with a shear strength and material compatibility appropriate for 0.553" carbon steel and the anticipated stresses.
Improper edge preparation for welding, leading to weak joints.Ensure edges are clean, free from rust or mill scale, and properly beveled if required by the welding procedure to achieve full penetration and joint strength.
