Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to edge deformation or burrs.Employ high-quality, sharp cutting tools designed for aluminum, such as carbide-tipped blades or abrasive waterjet cutting, and maintain proper feed rates.
Ignoring proper handling and storage, resulting in surface damage or contamination.Store sheets flat on a clean, dry surface, preferably on skids, and use protective films or coverings to prevent scratches and corrosion.

Common Applications

  • Structural components for machinery
  • Aerospace and defense fabrication
  • Marine vessel construction and repair
