Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners with Aluminum 6061 without considering galvanic corrosion.Utilize fasteners made from compatible materials such as stainless steel (300 series) or cadmium-plated steel to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Improper welding techniques leading to reduced strength in the heat-affected zone.Employ TIG (GTAW) or MIG (GMAW) welding with Argon shielding gas and appropriate filler metals (e.g., 4043 or 5356) while maintaining proper heat input control.
