Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to burrs or uneven edges.Employ specialized metal cutting tools such as shears, saws with fine-tooth blades, or laser cutters for clean and precise edges.
Improper surface preparation before attachment, leading to poor thermal contact or leaks.Thoroughly clean and degrease the sheet and the mating surface. Apply a thermal interface material if required for optimal heat transfer.
