Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools that generate excessive heat, potentially altering the temper of the Aluminum 6061.Employ precision cutting methods like waterjet or laser cutting, or use lubrication and appropriate feed rates with mechanical cutting to minimize heat-affected zones.
Inadequate cleaning of the aluminum surface before assembly or use in filtering environments, leading to potential contamination.Thoroughly degrease and clean the aluminum surface with appropriate solvents and ensure it is free of debris and oils before integration into the filtering system.

Common Applications

  • Industrial Filtration Systems
  • Chemical Processing Filters
