Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for aluminum, leading to poor edge quality and increased tool wear.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum alloys, utilizing appropriate cutting fluids to maintain edge integrity and achieve clean cuts.
Neglecting proper handling of the sheet, resulting in scratches or deformation that can compromise the final component's performance.Handle the sheet with clean gloves and store it on a flat, stable surface, avoiding sharp impacts or excessive pressure, to preserve its surface finish and dimensional accuracy.

Common Applications

  • Wear strips and guides
  • Bushings and bearings
  • Low-friction sliding components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and machining aluminum.
  • Ensure proper ventilation in work areas when machining aluminum to mitigate dust hazards.
