Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard mild steel for applications requiring high wear resistance.Specify and utilize high-carbon steel for components subjected to significant abrasion or impact.
Improper surface preparation leading to poor adhesion or uneven seating.Thoroughly clean and level the mounting surface before installing the stock sheet.

Common Applications

  • Precision gauging surfaces
  • Tool and die components
  • Wear plates and backing material
  • Custom fixture bases
  • Short-run tooling

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Carbon steel is susceptible to rust; proper surface treatment or coating is recommended for environments with high humidity.
  • Machining of high-carbon steel requires appropriate tooling and lubrication to prevent excessive wear and heat buildup.
