Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard aluminum alloys for high-pressure pneumatic components.Always specify Aluminum 6061 or a comparable alloy with sufficient tensile strength and fatigue resistance for pneumatic applications.
Neglecting edge preparation after cutting.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges to maintain structural integrity and prevent premature failure due to stress concentrations.
