Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools which can lead to excessive heat and material deformation.Employ cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum, such as carbide-tipped blades or specialized shears, and use appropriate lubricants to manage heat.
Ignoring the thinness of the material during handling, potentially causing bending or damage.Handle the 0.019" thick sheet with care, supporting it evenly and avoiding point loads to prevent warping or creasing.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic manifold blocks
  • Hydraulic reservoir components
  • Fluid power system enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, when handling metal stock.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or machining aluminum to avoid inhalation of metal dust or fumes.
