Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fasteners that may corrode or weaken the assembly.Employ stainless steel or compatible aluminum fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure long-term structural integrity.
Overheating during welding or machining, leading to loss of temper and reduced mechanical properties.Implement controlled heat input during welding and use appropriate cooling during machining to preserve the T6 temper of the 6061 alloy.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Blocks
  • Hydraulic Valve Bodies
  • Pump Housings
