Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized or thin material for high-load applications.Always select material thickness and grade that exceed the calculated load requirements for the specific application.
Insufficient edge preparation leading to stress concentrations.Thoroughly deburr and smooth all cut edges to prevent premature failure due to sharp corners.
