Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for aluminum.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped tooling specifically for aluminum to prevent galling and achieve clean cuts.
Ignoring material expansion and contraction due to temperature changes.Account for thermal expansion/contraction during design and assembly, especially in systems experiencing significant temperature fluctuations.

Common Applications
