Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel tools without proper lubrication, leading to galling.Employ specialized carbide or high-speed steel tooling for aluminum, and utilize cutting fluids to reduce friction and improve surface finish.
Over-stressing the material during bending without proper radius, causing cracking.Adhere to recommended minimum bend radii for 0.187" 6061-T6 to prevent material failure during forming operations.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures and Housings
  • LED Lighting Fixture Bodies and Mounts
  • Heat Sinks for Electronic Components
  • Busbars and Conductors
  • Structural Supports in Electrical Assemblies

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges and potential cuts.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining or welding to avoid inhalation of aluminum dust or fumes.
