Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper cutting technique leading to excessive burrs or material deformation.Employ sharp, high-quality cutting tools and maintain a consistent cutting speed to achieve clean edges with minimal burrs.
Neglecting surface preparation before welding or bonding, compromising joint integrity.Thoroughly clean the aluminum surface to remove oxides and contaminants using a degreaser and wire brush prior to any joining process.
