Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for aluminum, leading to poor edge quality.Utilize carbide-tipped blades or specialized aluminum cutting tools for clean, precise cuts.
Insufficient pre-cleaning before welding or bonding, resulting in weak joints.Thoroughly degrease and abrade the surface of the aluminum sheet prior to any joining operations.
