Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without proper adjustments, leading to excessive heat and material deformation.Employ cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum, ensuring adequate coolant and appropriate feed rates to manage heat and maintain dimensional accuracy.
Skipping surface preparation before welding, resulting in porosity and reduced joint strength.Thoroughly degrease and clean the weld surfaces using a stainless steel brush and appropriate solvent to remove oxides and contaminants.

Common Applications

  • Custom conveyor system components
