| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using excessive heat during cutting or machining, which can alter the temper of the Aluminum 6061. | Employ coolant during cutting and machining operations, and use appropriate speeds and feeds to minimize heat buildup. |
| Inadequate surface preparation before joining or finishing, leading to poor adhesion or corrosion. | Thoroughly clean the surface of the Aluminum 6061 sheet with a degreaser and mechanical abrasion (e.g., sanding) before any subsequent processes. |
