Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to burrs or material deformation.Employ sharp, high-speed steel or carbide tooling specifically designed for aluminum machining to ensure clean cuts and minimize material stress.
Inadequate cleaning of the material surface before welding or bonding.Thoroughly degrease and remove any oxide layers from the aluminum surface using appropriate solvents and mechanical abrasion prior to any joining processes.
