Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without considering galvanic corrosion potential with aluminum.Employ stainless steel or appropriately coated fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure long-term structural integrity.
Over-machining, leading to excessive heat generation and potential warpage.Utilize appropriate cutting speeds and coolant to manage heat during machining operations, minimizing thermal stress.

Common Applications

  • Heat exchanger components
  • Pressure vessel enclosures
  • Thermal management plates

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to highly alkaline or acidic environments, which can degrade aluminum.
  • Ensure proper grounding when welding to prevent arc blow and maintain material integrity.
