Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners with 304 stainless steel.Always use 304 or 316 stainless steel fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion and maintain the integrity of the assembly.
Inadequate edge preparation for welding.Ensure edges are clean, free of contaminants, and properly beveled according to welding procedure specifications for optimal weld quality.

Common Applications

  • Heavy-duty structural bracing
  • Marine and offshore suspension systems
  • Industrial equipment support structures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Extreme care must be taken during cutting and handling due to sharp edges.
  • Ensure compatibility with surrounding materials to prevent galvanic corrosion.
