Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to burrs or uneven edges.Utilize sharp, specialized aluminum cutting blades or end mills with appropriate feed rates and speeds.
Improper welding procedures for 6061, resulting in reduced joint strength or cracking.Employ 5356 or 4043 filler metal and preheat the material for optimal weld integrity, following recommended procedures for T6 temper aluminum.

Common Applications
