Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners, leading to galvanic corrosion.Always utilize 304 stainless steel fasteners or compatible corrosion-resistant hardware to prevent premature failure.
Improper edge preparation before welding, resulting in weak joints.Ensure edges are clean, beveled (if required by weld procedure), and free from contaminants prior to welding to achieve full joint penetration and strength.

Common Applications

  • Custom sink and countertop fabrication
  • Durable splash guards and backsplashes
  • Hygienic wall and floor panels in food processing areas

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or welding.
