Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using general-purpose cutting tools not designed for thick aluminum.Employ specialized cutting blades or methods designed for heavy-gauge aluminum to prevent overheating, material damage, and ensure clean cuts.
Neglecting to account for thermal expansion during cutting or welding.Allow for appropriate kerf width and consider expansion joints if the fabricated component will experience significant temperature fluctuations.
