Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools or speeds for aluminum.Utilize carbide-tipped or high-speed steel tooling specifically designed for aluminum, and maintain appropriate cutting speeds and feed rates to prevent chip buildup and excessive heat.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding or bonding.Thoroughly clean the surface to remove oxides, oils, and contaminants using a degreaser and a stainless steel wire brush immediately before welding or bonding to ensure optimal joint strength.
