Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using insufficient fasteners for load-bearing applications.Consult engineering drawings for recommended fastener types, spacing, and torque specifications to ensure adequate structural integrity.
Allowing galvanic corrosion in dissimilar metal applications.Implement isolation techniques, such as non-conductive washers or coatings, when joining Aluminum 6061 with more noble metals to prevent corrosion.

Common Applications

  • Heat Exchanger Fabrication
  • Pressure Vessel Linings
  • Temperature Sensor Housings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to highly acidic or alkaline environments which can degrade aluminum.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during any cutting or grinding operations to prevent inhalation of aluminum dust.
