Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools which can lead to poor edge quality and tool damage.Employ high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for non-ferrous metals like aluminum. Ensure proper feed rates and lubrication.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding or bonding, resulting in weak joints.Thoroughly clean the surfaces to be joined with a degreaser and wire brush to remove oxides and contaminants. Consider an etching process for critical applications.

Common Applications

  • Structural components in machinery
  • Custom fabrication and prototyping
