Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners for structural load applications.Always specify and use fasteners with adequate shear and tensile strength ratings to support the expected loads and prevent premature failure.
Improper welding techniques for 6061-T6 aluminum.Employ TIG or MIG welding with appropriate filler metals (e.g., 4043 or 5356) and pre/post-weld heat treatments to maintain material properties and prevent cracking.

Common Applications

  • Safety Barriers and Guarding
