Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect welding filler metal for 6061.Always consult recommended filler alloys (e.g., 4043 or 5356) for optimal weld strength and integrity.
Aggressive bending without proper support, leading to cracking.Employ a sufficient bend radius and consider annealing if extreme forming is required.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace components
  • Automotive frames and body panels
  • Marine structures and fittings
  • Structural framing and supports
