Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to burrs or material deformation.Employ sharp, high-speed steel or carbide cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum alloys, and maintain appropriate feed rates.
Insufficient material support during welding, causing distortion.Utilize jigs and fixtures to properly support the sheet during welding and implement controlled welding sequences to minimize heat buildup.

Common Applications
