Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inappropriate cutting tools leading to poor edge quality or material deformation.Employ high-quality cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum, ensuring proper feed rates and cooling to maintain material integrity.
Failing to account for thermal expansion during cutting or welding, resulting in dimensional inaccuracies.Allow for material expansion and contraction by performing operations in a controlled temperature environment or by incorporating design tolerances.

Common Applications
