Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without proper adjustments.Employ specialized carbide or HSS saw blades designed for aluminum, and ensure proper coolant application to prevent chip welding and overheating.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding or bonding.Thoroughly degrease and mechanically abrade the mating surfaces to ensure optimal adhesion and joint strength.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabrication and structural components
  • Machined parts for prototypes and production
  • Marine and automotive sub-assemblies

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection when cutting or machining.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation when working with aluminum to prevent inhalation of dust or fumes.
