Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools without proper cooling.Utilize carbide-tipped blades or specialized aluminum cutting tools with adequate coolant to prevent heat buildup and ensure clean cuts.
Overheating the material during fabrication, leading to reduced mechanical properties.Manage cutting speeds and feed rates effectively, and employ cooling methods to maintain the alloy's temper and integrity.
