Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools can lead to burrs and uneven edges, compromising subsequent fabrication steps.Employ sharp, high-speed steel or carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting aluminum to achieve precise and clean cuts.
Improper welding techniques can result in porosity or reduced joint strength due to the alloy's heat conductivity.Utilize TIG or MIG welding with appropriate filler metals (e.g., ER4043 or ER5356) and proper preheating/post-weld heat treatment procedures for optimal results.
