Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect welding consumables for the specific carbon steel grade.Consult material datasheets and use welding electrodes or wires specifically designed for high-carbon steel to prevent cracking and ensure joint strength.
Inadequate edge preparation before welding.Properly bevel edges to achieve full weld penetration, especially for thicker sections, to avoid porosity and incomplete fusion.

Common Applications

  • Heavy Equipment Fabrication
