Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for aluminum, leading to burrs and imprecise edges.Employ specialized carbide-tipped blades or abrasive cut-off wheels designed for aluminum to achieve clean, precise cuts.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding, resulting in weak or porous welds.Thoroughly degrease and mechanically clean the weld joint area to remove oxides and contaminants before welding with appropriate 5356 or 4043 filler material.
