Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel in corrosive environmentsAlways specify 316 stainless steel for applications exposed to saltwater, chemicals, or high humidity to prevent premature corrosion and failure.
Underestimating required material thickness for load-bearing componentsConsult engineering load charts and perform necessary calculations to determine the appropriate stock sheet thickness to safely handle anticipated tensile and shear forces.

Common Applications
