Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper cleaning of the sheet before welding or bonding.Thoroughly degrease and deoxidize the Aluminum 6061 surface before any joining process to ensure optimal adhesion and weld integrity.
Using fasteners not designed for aluminum alloys, leading to galvanic corrosion.Select fasteners made from compatible materials (e.g., stainless steel 316 or aluminum alloys) and employ isolation techniques where necessary to prevent dissimilar metal corrosion.
