Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that will corrode over time.Utilize stainless steel fasteners (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) to maintain the corrosion resistance of the entire assembly.
Inadequate edge preparation leading to stress risers.Smooth and deburr all cut edges to prevent stress concentration and potential failure points.
