Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized or inadequate fasteners for the load requirements.Always select fasteners that are rated for the intended shear and tensile loads, and ensure they are also made of 304 stainless steel to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Inconsistent or insufficient fastening points leading to stress concentration.Distribute fastening points evenly across the sheet, adhering to recommended spacing guidelines for the specific application to prevent localized stress points and ensure uniform support.

Common Applications
