Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel tooling for machining, leading to poor surface finish and premature tool wear.Employ specialized carbide or high-speed steel tooling designed for aluminum alloys, ensuring proper speeds and feeds for optimal results.
Neglecting to deburr edges after cutting, which can create stress risers and compromise the integrity of subsequent components.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges using a deburring tool or file to create smooth, radiused transitions.
