Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without appropriate rake angles or cooling.Utilize carbide or high-speed steel tooling specifically designed for aluminum, with adequate chip clearance and coolant lubrication to prevent chip welding and overheating.
Insufficient support during cutting or machining, leading to bowing or vibration.Employ sturdy fixturing and support mechanisms to maintain sheet rigidity throughout the machining process, ensuring accurate dimensions and surface finish.

Common Applications

  • Structural components in aerospace and automotive industries
