Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for aluminum, leading to poor edge quality and potential material deformation.Employ specialized carbide or high-speed steel cutting tools with appropriate rake and clearance angles, along with a suitable coolant, for clean cuts and optimal surface finish.
Neglecting to account for thermal expansion during machining or welding, potentially causing warpage or stress in finished components.Implement controlled machining speeds and feed rates, and allow for adequate cooling periods during welding to mitigate thermal distortion.

Common Applications
