Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not rated for thicker aluminum stock.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped cutting tools designed for aluminum to prevent tool wear and ensure clean cuts.
Inadequate pre-cleaning before welding, leading to porosity.Thoroughly degrease and remove any oxide layers from the welding surfaces using a stainless steel wire brush specifically for aluminum.

Common Applications

  • Structural components for machinery
  • Custom jigs and fixtures
