Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Inadequate fastener selection for the load capacity.Always select fasteners (bolts, screws) with a shear and tensile strength that exceeds the maximum anticipated load of the assembly, considering the sheet's inherent strength.
Improper surface preparation leading to premature corrosion at the mounting points.Thoroughly clean and degrease both the stock sheet's mounting surface and the receiving substrate. Consider using a barrier compound if galvanic corrosion is a concern with dissimilar metals.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabricated lifting lugs and eyes
  • Heavy-duty mounting plates for machinery in corrosive environments
  • Structural reinforcement in marine or offshore applications

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always consult relevant engineering codes and standards for specific application load calculations and safety factors.
  • Ensure proper handling and lifting procedures are followed to prevent personal injury or damage to the material during installation.
