Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools which can lead to tearing or burring.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting aluminum.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding, resulting in porosity or weak joints.Degrease and clean the aluminum surface with a stainless steel brush to remove oxidation and contaminants.

Common Applications

  • Structural framing
  • Machined components
  • Aerospace and automotive parts

⚠️ Engineering Warnings
