Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners not rated for aluminum or the expected load.Always utilize fasteners specifically designed for aluminum or rated for the anticipated tensile and shear forces. Consult fastener manufacturer specifications.
Overlooking the expansion and contraction of aluminum due to temperature changes.Incorporate expansion joints or allow for slight tolerances in fixed installations to accommodate thermal movement and prevent stress buildup.

Common Applications

  • Structural bracing for machinery and equipment
