Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fasteners that can cause galvanic corrosion with aluminum.Employ stainless steel (304 or 316) or aluminum-specific fasteners.
Applying excessive heat during welding or cutting, leading to material degradation.Utilize proper welding techniques for aluminum alloys (e.g., TIG or MIG) and controlled heat input.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace components
  • Structural framing
  • Marine hardware
  • Automotive parts
  • Fabrication and prototyping

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid scratches or dents, which can compromise structural integrity.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or welding aluminum to avoid inhalation of fumes.
