Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to burrs and an imprecise edge.Employ high-quality metal cutting tools such as a shear, saw, or plasma cutter, and ensure blades are sharp and appropriate for aluminum.
Failing to account for thermal expansion during welding or fabrication.Allow for expansion and contraction by incorporating appropriate joint design or performing post-weld heat treatment if necessary.
