Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion with aluminum.Always use compatible fasteners such as stainless steel (300 series) or aluminum fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Applying excessive heat during welding which can anneal the 6061 alloy and reduce its strength.Employ controlled welding procedures with appropriate filler materials and pre/post-weld heat treatments if strength is critical.

Common Applications
