Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners that can lead to galvanic corrosion.Always utilize 316 stainless steel or equivalent corrosion-resistant fasteners to maintain the integrity of the assembly.
Over-stressing the sheet beyond its yield strength during installation or operation.Consult engineering load charts and ensure the sheet's structural capacity is not exceeded in its intended application.
