Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using improper cutting tools leading to edge deformation or burrs.Employ sharp, high-quality cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum alloys to ensure clean cuts and minimize post-processing.
Neglecting to account for thermal expansion during fabrication, especially in large pieces.Allow adequate clearance or implement controlled cooling strategies during operations that generate heat to prevent warping.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace structural components
