| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard cutting tools not rated for thick aluminum. | Employ carbide-tipped blades or specialized aluminum cutting blades to prevent heat buildup and ensure clean cuts. |
| Improper welding techniques leading to porosity or cracks. | Utilize GTAW (TIG) or GMAW (MIG) welding with appropriate filler metals (e.g., 4043 or 5356) and observe proper pre-heating and post-weld cooling procedures. |
