Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for aluminum, leading to poor edge quality or tool damage.Employ cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum alloys, such as carbide-tipped blades or high-speed steel saw blades with appropriate tooth geometry and coolant.
Improperly preparing surfaces for welding, resulting in weak or contaminated welds.Thoroughly clean all welding surfaces with a stainless steel brush and appropriate degreaser to remove oxides and contaminants before welding.

Common Applications
