Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without proper adjustments, leading to excessive heat buildup and tool wear.Employ specialized carbide or high-speed steel tooling designed for aluminum, and ensure adequate coolant or lubrication is used.
Neglecting to account for thermal expansion during fabrication processes, potentially causing warpage.Allow for adequate cooling periods between fabrication steps and consider clamping strategies that accommodate expansion.

Common Applications
