Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inappropriate cutting tools that can cause excessive heat and deformation.Employ sharp, high-speed steel or carbide cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum to ensure clean cuts and minimize heat buildup.
Improper welding techniques leading to porosity or cracking.Utilize appropriate filler metals (e.g., 4043 or 5356) and gas shielding (e.g., Argon) when welding 6061, and preheat if necessary, following AWS guidelines.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace structural components
