Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to burrs or deformation.Employ high-quality metal shears, saws, or CNC cutting equipment specifically designed for aluminum to ensure clean, precise cuts.
Improper welding techniques causing structural weakness.Utilize TIG welding with a suitable filler material (e.g., 4043 or 5356) and follow recommended welding procedures for Aluminum 6061 to maintain material integrity.

Common Applications

  • Industrial air filtration systems
  • Liquid process filtration
  • Oil and gas separation filters

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection when fabricating.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when performing cutting or welding operations to avoid inhalation of fumes.
