Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper cutting tool selection leading to burrs or heat distortion.Select a cutting method suited for aluminum and the required edge quality. For thick sheets, consider abrasive cutting with adequate coolant or precision methods like waterjet or laser cutting.
Failure to account for thermal expansion during fabrication or welding.Allow for adequate expansion gaps and employ proper welding techniques to minimize residual stress and prevent distortion in the final assembly.
