Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools or speeds for aluminum, leading to poor surface finish or material damage.Employ carbide-tipped blades or specialized aluminum cutting tools with appropriate speeds and feed rates. Use coolant to prevent overheating.
Inadequate preparation for welding, resulting in weak or contaminated welds.Thoroughly clean the joint area to remove oxides and contaminants. Use appropriate filler materials (e.g., 4043 or 5356) and preheating if necessary.

Common Applications
