Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard aluminum cutting tools without proper cooling, leading to premature tool wear and burring.Employ high-speed steel or carbide cutting tools designed for aluminum and utilize a cutting fluid or lubricant to manage heat and improve cut quality.
Attempting to bend the sheet with a radius smaller than recommended for 0.030" 6061, causing cracking or material failure.Consult material data sheets for minimum bend radii for 6061-T6 alloy at this thickness and ensure bending operations adhere to these specifications.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures & Housings
  • LED Lighting Fixture Components
