Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect grade of carbon steel for specific load requirements.Always confirm the carbon steel grade's mechanical properties (tensile strength, yield strength) match or exceed the design's demands. Consult material datasheets.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding, leading to porosity or weak joints.Thoroughly clean the steel surfaces of rust, mill scale, oil, and any contaminants using mechanical cleaning or degreasing agents prior to welding.

Common Applications

  • Structural Steel Fabrication
  • Heavy Equipment Manufacturing
