Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel fittings with aluminum pipe.Always use fittings specifically designed for aluminum alloys to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure proper seal integrity.
Inadequate support for the pipe run.Install supports at recommended intervals to prevent sagging and stress concentration, especially in long runs or under vibration.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace structural components
  • Marine piping systems
  • High-pressure fluid transfer lines

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Aluminum 6061 is susceptible to galvanic corrosion when in direct contact with dissimilar metals, especially in corrosive environments.
  • Avoid extreme temperatures or exposure to strong alkalis which can degrade aluminum alloys.
