Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible fasteners that can cause galvanic corrosion.Utilize fasteners made of stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) or aluminum alloys specifically designed for use with 6061.
Improper surface preparation before welding or bonding.Ensure all surfaces are free from oxides, oils, and contaminants by mechanical cleaning (e.g., brushing, sanding) followed by chemical degreasing.

Common Applications

  • Industrial liquid filtration media support
  • Gas scrubber components
