Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to material deformation or stress concentrations.Use torque wrenches set to manufacturer specifications and distribute fastening points to avoid localized stress.
Inadequate surface preparation for bonding or welding, compromising joint strength.Thoroughly clean and degrease all surfaces to be joined, and ensure proper surface treatment if required for the chosen joining method.

Common Applications

  • Structural bracing for equipment and machinery
