Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools that can cause chipping or melting.Employ carbide-tipped blades or laser cutting for clean, precise edges without thermal damage.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Utilize washers and allow for thermal expansion by not fully tightening fasteners, especially in temperature-sensitive environments.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures & Housings
