Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without considering galvanic corrosion.Employ stainless steel or other compatible fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion, especially in outdoor or humid environments.
Overheating during welding, leading to loss of temper.Employ proper welding procedures and post-weld heat treatment to maintain the material's mechanical properties.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures & Housings
  • Busbar Systems
