| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard cutting tools without appropriate coolant for aluminum. | Employ specialized aluminum cutting blades and use a suitable coolant to prevent heat buildup and ensure clean cuts. |
| Improper welding techniques leading to porosity or cracking. | Ensure proper cleaning of the weld area, use the correct filler metal (e.g., 4043 or 5356 for 6061), and maintain appropriate amperage and voltage settings for TIG or MIG welding. |
