Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel cutting tools without coolant on aluminum.Employ high-speed steel or carbide tooling designed for aluminum and utilize a suitable cutting fluid or mist to prevent chip welding and improve surface finish.
Overheating the material during cutting, leading to annealing and reduced strength.Maintain appropriate cutting speeds and feed rates, and use adequate lubrication and cooling to dissipate heat effectively.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace components
  • Automotive frames and chassis
  • Marine structures and fittings
