| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard steel tooling without proper adjustments for aluminum's lower hardness. | Employ carbide or high-speed steel tooling with appropriate speeds, feeds, and coolant to prevent tool wear and material deformation. |
| Applying excessive heat during welding, leading to potential loss of strength in the heat-affected zone. | Utilize controlled welding techniques, such as TIG or MIG welding with appropriate filler alloys (e.g., 4043 or 5356), and minimize heat input to maintain alloy integrity. |
