Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to material deformation or poor edge quality.Employ carbide-tipped blades for saws or high-pressure waterjet cutting for precise, clean cuts without compromising material integrity.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding, resulting in weak or contaminated welds.Thoroughly degrease and deoxidize the weld area using appropriate solvents and wire brushes specifically for aluminum to ensure a clean and strong weld.

Common Applications
