Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not rated for aluminum, leading to poor edge quality and potential material work hardening.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum alloys, maintaining appropriate feed rates and coolant application.
Inadequate pre-treatment before welding, such as insufficient cleaning of the oxide layer.Thoroughly clean the weld area with a stainless steel brush and a suitable degreaser to remove oxides and contaminants, ensuring a sound weld.

Common Applications
