Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel tools which can lead to galling and contamination.Employ specialized tooling and lubricants designed for aluminum machining to prevent surface damage and ensure clean cuts.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding, resulting in porosity and weak joints.Thoroughly clean the weld area with a stainless steel brush and appropriate degreaser to remove oxides and contaminants before welding.

Common Applications
