Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to material distortion.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for aluminum cutting to minimize heat buildup and prevent distortion.
Failing to account for thermal expansion during fabrication.Allow adequate clearance for expansion and contraction, especially in applications involving significant temperature fluctuations.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace components and structures
  • Marine hardware and fittings
