| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard cutting fluids not designed for aluminum alloys, which can lead to chip welding and poor surface finish. | Employ specialized cutting fluids formulated for aluminum to ensure optimal chip removal, extended tool life, and superior surface quality. |
| Overheating the material during fabrication processes (e.g., welding, machining) which can alter its mechanical properties and reduce corrosion resistance. | Implement proper cooling measures and control heat input during fabrication to maintain the alloy's intended performance characteristics and integrity. |
