| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using incorrect cutting tools leading to material deformation or poor edge quality. | Employ metal-specific cutting tools designed for aluminum to ensure clean cuts and minimize stress on the material. |
| Failing to account for thermal expansion/contraction in designs involving significant temperature fluctuations. | Incorporate appropriate expansion joints or material allowances in designs where significant temperature variations are anticipated. |
