Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inadequate fixturing, leading to vibration during abrading/polishing.Employ robust clamps or a vacuum table to ensure the sheet remains firmly in place throughout the entire finishing process.
Applying excessive heat during machining or welding, which can alter the temper of the 6061 alloy.Utilize appropriate cooling techniques, such as coolant or air jets, and maintain controlled heat input to preserve the material's intended mechanical properties.

Common Applications
