Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard pipe fittings not rated for Schedule 160.Always select fittings specifically designed and rated for Schedule 160 pipe to maintain system integrity and pressure handling capabilities.
Inadequate cleaning of the aluminum surface before welding.Thoroughly remove all oxide layers and contaminants from the aluminum surface prior to welding to ensure a strong and defect-free weld.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace fluid conveyance systems
  • High-pressure hydraulic lines
  • Marine structural components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Aluminum 6061 is susceptible to crevice corrosion in saline environments; consider protective coatings if prolonged exposure is anticipated.
  • Ensure proper ventilation and personal protective equipment when welding Aluminum 6061 due to potential fume generation.
