Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners or inadequate joining techniques.Employ fasteners and joining methods rated for the tensile strength of 0.745" carbon steel to prevent structural failure.
Exposing raw carbon steel to corrosive environments without protection.Apply appropriate coatings, such as primer and paint, or select a corrosion-resistant alloy if the application involves significant moisture or chemical exposure.

Common Applications

  • Heavy-duty shipping crates
  • Protective industrial enclosures
  • Reinforced pallets and skids
