Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not rated for thick steel.Employ heavy-duty plasma cutters, abrasive saws, or specialized industrial shears designed for thick metal stock.
Inadequate weld preparation leading to porosity or incomplete fusion.Thoroughly clean and bevel edges, use appropriate welding consumables, and preheat the material if recommended for the specific carbon steel grade.

Common Applications

  • Heavy industrial framework construction
  • Machine base fabrication
