Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel in corrosive environments, leading to premature rust and failure.Always specify 304 or higher-grade stainless steel for applications exposed to moisture, chemicals, or saltwater.
Underestimating the required thickness for load-bearing applications, resulting in deformation.Consult engineering load charts or perform structural analysis to determine the minimum required sheet thickness for your specific application.
