| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard steel fasteners without appropriate corrosion protection. | Employ stainless steel or anodized aluminum fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure long-term integrity. |
| Overheating during welding, leading to reduced mechanical properties in the heat-affected zone. | Utilize appropriate welding procedures for 6061 aluminum, such as TIG welding with a skilled operator, and consider post-weld heat treatment if critical strength is required. |
