Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for aluminum alloys.Employ specialized carbide or high-speed steel cutting tools with appropriate rake and clearance angles for aluminum to prevent tool breakage and ensure clean cuts.
Insufficient lubrication during machining operations.Apply a suitable cutting fluid or lubricant specifically formulated for aluminum to reduce friction, dissipate heat, and improve surface finish, thereby extending tool life.

Common Applications

  • Bearing components
  • Low-friction sliding surfaces
  • Lubricant reservoirs and conduits

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and fabricating aluminum sheet, including safety glasses and gloves.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or machining aluminum to prevent the inhalation of fine metal particles.
