Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard aluminum alloys not rated for corrosive or high-pressure filtration environments.Always specify and utilize Aluminum 6061 or equivalent alloys with demonstrated corrosion resistance and mechanical strength suitable for the intended filtration medium and operating conditions.
Inadequate surface preparation before fabrication, leading to poor weld quality or inconsistent performance.Thoroughly degrease and clean all surfaces of the Aluminum 6061 sheet prior to any cutting, forming, or welding operations to ensure optimal material integrity.

Common Applications

  • Filter Housing Construction
  • Support Grids for Filter Media
  • Internal Flow Distributors in Filters

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges after cutting.
  • Ensure compatibility of Aluminum 6061 with the specific chemical environment of the filtration process.
