Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to burrs and material deformation.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum fabrication.
Improper welding techniques causing porosity or structural weakness.Utilize TIG or MIG welding with appropriate filler metal (e.g., 4043 or 5356) and shielding gas, ensuring proper preheating and post-weld heat treatment if required.
