Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to burrs and uneven edges that compromise filtration performance.Employ sharp, precision cutting tools specifically designed for sheet metal, such as shears or laser cutters, and deburr edges post-cutting.
Overworking the material during bending or forming, which can lead to work hardening and potential cracking.Utilize appropriate bending radii and techniques for 0.015" thick 6061 aluminum to prevent excessive stress and maintain material integrity.

Common Applications

  • Custom filter media support
  • Industrial strainers
  • Laboratory filtration apparatus

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong alkalis or acids, which can corrode aluminum.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or forming to avoid inhalation of fine aluminum particles.
