Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to material damage or poor edge quality.Utilize high-speed steel or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum. Ensure proper lubrication and cooling during cutting operations.
Neglecting thermal expansion considerations during welding or high-temperature processing.Account for aluminum's higher coefficient of thermal expansion by implementing appropriate fixturing and preheating/cooling strategies to minimize distortion.

Common Applications
