Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to burrs or material distortion.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting aluminum to ensure clean, precise cuts.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding, resulting in porosity or weak joints.Thoroughly clean the weld area with a stainless steel brush and degreaser to remove oxides and contaminants.

Common Applications
