| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using incompatible fasteners leading to galvanic corrosion. | Utilize fasteners made from compatible materials such as 5000 or 6000 series aluminum alloys, stainless steel (300 series), or cadmium-plated steel to prevent galvanic corrosion. |
| Applying excessive heat during welding, causing loss of strength in the heat-affected zone. | Employ proper welding techniques for Aluminum 6061, such as TIG or MIG welding, and control heat input to minimize softening of the parent material adjacent to the weld. |
