Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for aluminum alloys.Employ specialized carbide or high-speed steel cutting tools with appropriate rake angles and speeds to prevent material galling and ensure clean cuts.
Inadequate post-machining cleaning.Thoroughly clean all machined surfaces and edges to remove any residual cutting fluids or aluminum chips before assembly or welding to prevent contamination.

Common Applications
