| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard fasteners instead of those rated for aluminum alloys. | Utilize fasteners specifically designed for aluminum to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure joint integrity. |
| Insufficient pre-heating during welding, leading to cracking. | Pre-heat Aluminum 6061 to an appropriate temperature (typically 300-400°F or 150-200°C) before welding to mitigate thermal stress and cracking. |
