Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools which can lead to tearing and poor edge quality on aluminum.Employ specialized carbide-tipped or high-speed steel blades designed for non-ferrous metals like aluminum, ensuring proper feed rates and lubrication.
Inadequate preparation for welding, leading to porosity or weak joints.Thoroughly clean the weld area with a stainless steel brush and degreaser to remove oxides and contaminants. Use appropriate filler material (e.g., 4043 or 5356) and shielding gas (argon).

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures & Housings
  • Heat Sinks for LED Lighting
  • Conductive Plates & Busbars
