Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners not rated for aluminum alloy loads.Select fasteners specifically designed for high-strength aluminum alloys, considering shear and tensile strength requirements.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding, leading to weld defects.Thoroughly clean the weld zone with a degreaser and wire brush to remove oxides and contaminants.
