Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible fasteners that can cause galvanic corrosion.Utilize fasteners made from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) or Aluminum 6061 to prevent electrochemical reactions.
Improper welding procedures leading to reduced joint strength or cracking.Employ proper GTAW (TIG) or GMAW (MIG) welding techniques with appropriate filler metals (e.g., 4043 or 5356) and preheat if necessary, following industry best practices for 6061.

Common Applications

  • Custom pipe supports and hangers
  • Fabricated drain components and access panels
  • Water tank and reservoir liners

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or welding to avoid inhaling aluminum fumes.
  • Handle sharp edges with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves.
