Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the material is clean and free from contaminants. 2. Carefully measure and mark cut lines using appropriate scribing tools. 3. Utilize suitable cutting methods (e.g., waterjet, CNC plasma, bandsaw) with appropriate blade/nozzle for aluminum. 4. Deburr all cut edges to remove sharp protrusions and prevent potential hazards.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for aluminum, leading to poor cuts and tool damage.Employ specialized carbide or HSS blades/bits designed for aluminum, or use waterjet/plasma cutting for optimal results.
Failing to account for thermal expansion during fabrication or welding, causing distortion.Allow for expansion by pre-heating or by incorporating expansion joints in large structures.
