Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using improper cutting tools, leading to jagged edges or material deformation.Employ carbide-tipped blades or abrasive cut-off wheels designed for aluminum to ensure clean, precise cuts.
Insufficient ventilation during welding, resulting in porosity and weakened welds.Ensure adequate local exhaust ventilation or use a gas shield (e.g., Argon) during welding to prevent weld defects.

Common Applications
