Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools that can lead to burrs or deformation.Employ sharp, appropriate cutting tools such as shears, saws, or CNC routers designed for metal fabrication to ensure clean cuts.
Inadequate surface preparation before assembly or welding, compromising structural integrity.Thoroughly clean the Aluminum 6061 surfaces with a degreaser and then a light abrasive to remove oxides and contaminants before joining.

Common Applications

  • Custom filter housing fabrication
  • Screen material for particulate filtration
  • Support grids for catalytic converters

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses and gloves when handling and fabricating aluminum sheet.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation when performing cutting, grinding, or welding operations on aluminum to avoid inhalation of fumes.
