Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel for corrosive environments, leading to premature failure.Always specify 304 stainless steel or a higher-grade alloy when exposed to moisture, chemicals, or saltwater.
Inadequate load calculations leading to undersized fabricated components.Consult engineering load charts and apply safety factors based on material properties and intended use to determine appropriate dimensions.

Common Applications
