Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to jagged edges or material deformation.Employ high-quality shears, band saws, or CNC plasma cutters specifically rated for aluminum to achieve clean, precise cuts.
Failing to account for thermal expansion during welding or bending.Allow for adequate clearance and manage heat input during welding to prevent warping and stress. Consider pre-bending if significant thermal changes are expected.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace components
  • Automotive parts
  • Marine structures
  • Structural framing
