Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners not rated for aluminum's galvanic potential.Utilize fasteners made from compatible materials (e.g., stainless steel 304/316) to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to sheet deformation.Employ a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's recommended specification for the fastener and sheet thickness to ensure secure attachment without damage.
