Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using insufficient clamping during machining, leading to vibration and poor surface finish.Secure the aluminum sheet firmly with appropriate clamps or a vise to minimize vibration during machining operations.
Applying excessive heat during welding or brazing, which can alter the temper and reduce strength.Employ proper welding or brazing techniques with controlled heat input to maintain the integrity of the 6061 alloy.

Common Applications
