Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to edge deformation or burrs.Employ high-quality shear blades, saws, or waterjet cutting for clean, precise edges.
Improper welding techniques causing porosity or reduced joint strength.Utilize GTAW (TIG) or GMAW (MIG) welding with appropriate filler metals (e.g., 4043 or 5356) and inert gas shielding for optimal results.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace components
  • Marine structures
  • Automotive frames
  • Heat exchangers
  • General fabrication

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during fabrication, including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or welding to avoid inhalation of fumes.
