| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using a general-purpose alloy for applications requiring specific conductivity or corrosion resistance. | Always select Aluminum 6061 for electrical and lighting applications where its enhanced properties are critical for performance and longevity. |
| Neglecting to account for thermal expansion in enclosed electrical assemblies. | Incorporate expansion gaps or flexible mounting techniques when designing enclosures with aluminum components to prevent stress build-up. |
