Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive force during bending or forming, leading to stress fractures or deformation.Employ controlled bending radii and gradual forming processes. Consult material datasheets for minimum bend radius specifications for 0.017" 6061 aluminum.
Inadequate surface preparation before bonding or welding, compromising joint integrity.Thoroughly degrease and abrade the aluminum surfaces to ensure a clean and receptive interface for adhesives or welding.

Common Applications

  • Custom filter media substrates
  • Industrial liquid and gas filtration housings
  • Aerospace and automotive fluid filtration components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings
