| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using incorrect cutting tools or speeds, leading to excessive heat generation and potential material deformation. | Employ sharp, high-speed steel or carbide tooling with appropriate coolants and cutting parameters recommended for aluminum alloys. |
| Improper welding techniques resulting in porosity or reduced joint strength. | Utilize TIG or MIG welding with appropriate filler material (e.g., 4043 or 5356) and follow established procedures for aluminum 6061 welding. |
