Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting methods that induce excessive heat and compromise the material's temper.Employ appropriate cutting tools and speeds, such as waterjet or precision sawing, and consider coolant application to manage heat buildup.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding or bonding, leading to weak joints.Thoroughly clean and degrease the mating surfaces to remove any oxides, oils, or contaminants prior to joining.
