Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without proper adjustments.Employ specialized carbide-tipped blades or end mills designed for aluminum to prevent excessive heat buildup and chip welding.
Inadequate preparation before welding.Thoroughly degrease and remove any oxide layer from the weld area using a stainless steel brush to ensure a clean and strong weld.
