Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fastening methods that compromise structural integrity.Select fasteners (welds, rivets, bolts) rated for the shear and tensile forces expected in the application.
Failing to account for material expansion/contraction due to temperature fluctuations.Incorporate appropriate clearance or expansion joints where significant temperature variations are anticipated.
