Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for aluminum alloys.Employ carbide-tipped or HSS tooling with appropriate rake angles and speeds for clean cuts.
Improper storage leading to surface damage or oxidation.Store in a dry, protected environment, ideally on non-abrasive supports, and consider protective film.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic manifold blocks
  • Pressure vessel components
  • Custom hydraulic fittings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and machining.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when welding or cutting to avoid inhalation of fumes.
