Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners that do not adequately secure the steel sheet.Select fasteners (rivets, screws, or welding consumables) with a shear and tensile strength appropriate for the load-bearing requirements of the application and the thickness of the carbon steel.
Not accounting for potential thermal expansion or contraction of the steel in extreme temperature environments.In applications with significant temperature fluctuations, incorporate expansion joints or fasteners designed to accommodate movement to prevent stress buildup and potential structural failure.
