| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard cutting tools not designed for thick aluminum, leading to rough edges and material deformation. | Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped saw blades specifically designed for cutting aluminum. Ensure adequate coolant is used to prevent overheating and promote clean cuts. |
| Applying excessive heat during welding, which can compromise the temper and strength of the 6061 alloy. | Utilize proper welding techniques for aluminum, such as TIG or MIG welding, with appropriate filler materials (e.g., 4043 or 5356). Preheating may be beneficial for thicker sections, but controlled heat input is crucial. |
