Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper tool selection for cutting or machining.Employ tools specifically designed for aluminum, such as high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide bits, with appropriate rake angles and speeds to prevent material adhesion and ensure clean cuts.
Neglecting surface preparation before further processing.Thoroughly clean and deburr all cut edges and surfaces to remove any machining residues, burrs, or imperfections that could compromise the performance of subsequent lubricating components.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction bearing surfaces
  • Shaft components in lubricated machinery
  • Wear plates for sliding mechanisms

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when cutting or machining aluminum.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation to avoid inhalation of aluminum dust or fumes.
