Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized or incorrect fastening hardware for high-stress applications.Always select fasteners with a tensile strength and material compatibility that exceeds the anticipated load and environmental conditions.
Inadequate edge preparation leading to stress concentrations or poor weld quality.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges and consider beveling for thicker materials to ensure robust joint integrity.
