Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fastener types that can cause galvanic corrosion with stainless steel.Utilize fasteners made of compatible materials, such as 304 stainless steel or other high-grade alloys, to prevent dissimilar metal reactions.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress concentrations and potential material deformation.Employ torque wrenches to apply the manufacturer-recommended torque specifications for all fasteners, ensuring proper clamping force without over-stressing the sheet.

Common Applications

  • Heavy-duty lifting points
  • Custom rigging fabrication
  • Reinforcement plates for industrial machinery
