Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to burrs or material deformation.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum, and maintain proper feed rates.
Overheating during welding, compromising the alloy's heat-treated properties.Utilize TIG or MIG welding with appropriate filler material (e.g., 4043 or 5356) and minimize heat input to preserve mechanical integrity.
