Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard sheet metal cutters not designed for thin aluminum.Utilize fine-tooth metal cutting blades or laser cutting for precise, burr-free edges on the 0.013" thickness.
Excessive force during forming leading to stress cracking.Employ gradual bending and shaping techniques, or consider annealing if complex forms are required, to prevent material fatigue.

Common Applications

  • Custom Filter Media Fabrication
  • Industrial Strainers
  • Specialty Screen Manufacturing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses and gloves when handling and cutting aluminum sheet.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when working with aluminum, especially if any cutting or grinding operations produce dust or fumes.
