| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard steel cutting tools without proper coolant, leading to heat buildup and blade damage. | Employ specialized aluminum cutting blades and ensure adequate coolant flow to prevent overheating and achieve smooth cuts. |
| Failing to account for thermal expansion during welding or machining, potentially causing warping. | Implement controlled heating and cooling cycles, or utilize appropriate fixturing to manage thermal stress during fabrication. |
