Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper edge finishing after cutting.Always deburr cut edges to a smooth, clean finish, removing any burrs or sharp edges that could compromise fluid flow or create safety issues.
Using standard machining practices without considering aluminum's properties.Employ appropriate speeds, feeds, and tooling designed for aluminum alloys to prevent tool loading and achieve optimal surface finish.

Common Applications
