Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inappropriate cutting tools leading to material deformation or stress risers.Utilize high-quality cutting tools designed for aluminum alloys, such as carbide-tipped blades or abrasive cut-off wheels, and maintain appropriate feed rates and speeds.
Inadequate surface preparation before welding or bonding, compromising joint integrity.Ensure all surfaces to be joined are thoroughly cleaned and degreased using appropriate solvents, and consider mechanical surface preparation if necessary.

Common Applications
