Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect welding procedures for heavy gauge carbon steel, leading to compromised joint integrity.Employ preheating and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) as per established welding codes for thick carbon steel sections to prevent cracking and ensure optimal weld strength.
Inadequate surface preparation before component fabrication, resulting in premature corrosion or coating failure.Thoroughly clean all surfaces to remove mill scale, oil, and contaminants. Utilize abrasive blasting or chemical cleaning methods to achieve a suitable profile for subsequent treatments or coatings.
