Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to burrs and uneven edges that can impede flow or compromise seal integrity.Employ precision cutting tools such as shears, band saws, or CNC plasma/laser cutters, followed by deburring to ensure smooth, clean edges.
Improper handling leading to scratches or dents, which can introduce stress points or affect the aesthetic and functional performance.Handle the sheet with care, utilizing padded surfaces and appropriate lifting equipment to prevent surface damage and maintain dimensional accuracy.

Common Applications

  • Air filtration media substrates
  • Liquid filtration housings
  • Industrial strainers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper ventilation and personal protective equipment (PPE) when cutting or fabricating to avoid inhalation of aluminum dust.
  • Aluminum 6061 can be susceptible to galvanic corrosion when in direct contact with dissimilar metals in aggressive environments; consider isolation or appropriate coatings.
