Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools without proper lubrication or cooling.Employ specialized carbide or high-speed steel blades and utilize cutting fluids or coolants to prevent overheating and ensure clean cuts.
Neglecting to account for material expansion and contraction during thermal processes.Factor in anticipated thermal movement when designing and fabricating components to prevent stress or deformation.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabrication of structural components
  • Machined parts for corrosive environments
