Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fastening methods for the intended load or environment.Consult material datasheets and engineering best practices for the most suitable fastening techniques (e.g., specific weld types, rivet sizes, or bolt grades).
Failing to account for thermal expansion and contraction during assembly or operation.Incorporate expansion joints or flexible mounting points where significant temperature fluctuations are expected.
