Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools for aluminum, leading to excessive heat and material deformation.Employ sharp, specialized carbide or high-speed steel tooling designed for aluminum cutting. Maintain appropriate feed rates and speeds to minimize heat buildup.
Neglecting proper surface preparation before welding, resulting in porosity and weak joints.Thoroughly degrease and abrade the weld area to remove any oxides or contaminants. Use a suitable inert gas shielding, such as Argon, during the welding process.

Common Applications

  • Custom Lifting Fixture Fabrication
