| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard steel fasteners without proper isolation, leading to galvanic corrosion. | Utilize stainless steel or aluminum fasteners, or apply insulating compounds or washers between the aluminum sheet and dissimilar metals. |
| Overheating the aluminum during welding or machining, causing loss of temper and reduced strength. | Maintain appropriate temperature control during fabrication processes. For welding, utilize TIG or MIG welding with 4043 or 5356 filler material. Employ coolant during machining. |
