Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using general-purpose tools not rated for aluminum, leading to poor cut quality or tool damage.Employ carbide-tipped blades or specialized aluminum cutting tools for precise and clean cuts.
Ignoring the potential for galling when fabricating parts that will experience sliding friction.Consider surface treatments or coatings, or design for adequate lubrication to mitigate galling.

Common Applications

  • Lubrication system components
  • Chassis and framework fabrication
  • Custom industrial parts

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and fabricating metal sheets.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during cutting or welding operations to avoid inhalation of fumes.
