Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without proper adjustments, leading to excessive heat and material damage.Employ specialized carbide or high-speed steel cutting tools designed for aluminum, ensuring adequate lubrication and appropriate feed rates to manage heat buildup.
Improperly preparing the surface for welding, resulting in weak or contaminated welds.Thoroughly clean the joint area with a stainless steel wire brush and degreaser to remove oxides and contaminants before welding.
