Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools which can lead to poor finish and tool damage.Employ carbide-tipped or specialized aluminum cutting tools with appropriate feed rates and speeds.
Overheating the material during welding, compromising its heat-treated properties.Employ proper welding techniques such as TIG or MIG welding with controlled heat input and consider post-weld heat treatment for critical applications.

Common Applications
