Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard gauge instead of precise thickness for critical load-bearing applications.Always verify the exact thickness of the aluminum sheet to ensure it meets the structural load requirements of your design.
Failing to account for material expansion and contraction in extreme temperature environments.Incorporate appropriate allowances for thermal expansion/contraction during design and fabrication, especially for large enclosures.
