Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drills without pilot holes, leading to cracking.Always drill pilot holes before inserting screws or bolts to prevent stress concentration and potential cracking.
Applying excessive force during tightening of fasteners.Use washers and do not overtighten fasteners, as this can cause stress crazing and compromise the material's integrity.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic system enclosures
