Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners not rated for aluminum, leading to galvanic corrosion.Employ stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) or specialized aluminum fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure long-term integrity.
Applying excessive force during bending or forming, causing stress fractures.Utilize appropriate bending radii and speeds for 0.035" 6061 aluminum. Consult material data sheets for recommended forming parameters to avoid cracking.
