Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not rated for aluminum, leading to poor cut quality and tool damage.Employ high-speed steel or carbide cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum machining, ensuring appropriate speeds and feeds.
Inadequate consideration of thermal expansion during welding or assembly, potentially causing distortion.Pre-heat the material slightly if necessary and allow for controlled cooling, or utilize appropriate fixturing to manage expansion.

Common Applications
