Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without proper lubrication.Employ specialized aluminum cutting fluids and sharp, high-speed steel or carbide tooling to prevent galling and overheating.
Applying excessive force during bending or forming without pre-heating.For tighter bends, consider local heating to the annealing temperature or using a bending radius specified for 6061-T6 alloy to avoid cracking.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace and automotive components
  • Custom fabrication and prototyping
  • Structural frames and supports

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, when handling and fabricating aluminum sheet.
  • Aluminum dust generated during machining can be flammable; ensure proper ventilation and dust collection systems are in place.
