Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not rated for thicker aluminum without proper cooling.Employ specialized tooling designed for aluminum cutting and ensure adequate coolant application to prevent material deformation and tool wear.
Neglecting to account for thermal expansion during fabrication or assembly.Incorporate expansion joints or leave appropriate clearances to accommodate temperature-induced dimensional changes in the aluminum sheet.

Common Applications
