| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Overheating during welding, leading to loss of temper and reduced strength. | Utilize proper welding techniques for aluminum, including preheating if necessary and controlled heat input, followed by post-weld heat treatment if full strength is critical. |
| Using incorrect fasteners that can lead to galvanic corrosion in moist environments. | Select fasteners made from compatible materials or apply appropriate coatings to prevent galvanic corrosion when joining dissimilar metals. |
