Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper fastener selection leading to galvanic corrosion.Utilize fasteners made from compatible materials (e.g., stainless steel) and consider using insulating washers to prevent dissimilar metal contact.
Overtightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential deformation.Employ a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's recommended torque values for the specific fasteners and sheet thickness.
