Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Ignoring material temper and its impact on formability.Always confirm the T6 temper of 6061 aluminum is suitable for the intended bending or forming operations. If more ductility is required, consider annealing or a different alloy.
Inadequate fixturing during cutting or machining.Use appropriate fixturing to prevent vibration and potential warping of the sheet, especially when cutting thin sections or performing high-speed machining.
