| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using incorrect cutting speeds or tool geometries, leading to material deformation or poor edge quality. | Consult material cutting charts for Aluminum 6061 and use sharp, appropriate tooling designed for aluminum alloys, maintaining optimal feed rates and speeds. |
| Overheating the material during cutting or welding, which can affect its temper and mechanical properties. | Utilize efficient cooling methods during machining and employ controlled welding procedures with proper heat input management to preserve the alloy's integrity. |
