Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to poor edge quality or tool damage.Utilize carbide-tipped saw blades or high-speed steel cutters specifically designed for aluminum for clean cuts and extended tool life.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding or bonding, resulting in weak joints.Thoroughly clean the surface to remove oxides, grease, and contaminants using stainless steel brushes and degreasers immediately before fabrication.

Common Applications

  • Structural components
  • Aerospace fabrication
