Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools that generate excessive heat, potentially altering the alloy's temper near the cut.Employ cutting methods that minimize heat input, such as waterjet cutting or using a saw with adequate cooling.
Failing to properly deburr cut edges, leading to potential safety hazards and poor joint integrity.Always thoroughly deburr all cut edges with a file or deburring tool after cutting.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace components
  • Automotive chassis and body panels
  • Structural framing and supports
