Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without appropriate adjustments.Utilize specialized carbide or HSS tooling designed for aluminum alloys to prevent excessive heat buildup and tool wear.
Improper heat treatment after forming, leading to reduced strength.Follow the recommended heat treatment (e.g., T6 temper) protocols precisely for Aluminum 6061 to achieve optimal mechanical properties.

Common Applications
