| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard cutting tools not designed for aluminum, leading to poor edge quality or tool damage. | Employ carbide-tipped blades or specialized aluminum cutting tools for clean, precise cuts. |
| Neglecting to account for thermal expansion during fabrication or in final assembly, especially in fluctuating temperature environments. | Incorporate expansion joints or clearances where necessary to prevent stress buildup. |
