Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a non-specific grade of aluminum for lubricating applications.Always specify Aluminum 6061 or a similar alloy known for its corrosion resistance and machinability for lubricating components.
Inadequate surface preparation before installation.Thoroughly clean the aluminum sheet and the mating surface to remove any debris or oils that could impede lubrication.

Common Applications

  • Bearing surfaces
  • Wear plates
  • Guide rails
  • Low-friction components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to highly acidic or alkaline environments, which can degrade aluminum.
  • Machining operations should utilize appropriate cutting fluids to prevent overheating and maintain surface integrity.
