Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without appropriate lubrication, leading to tool wear and poor cut quality.Employ cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum, along with a suitable cutting fluid to maintain tool sharpness and achieve a clean finish.
Over-stressing the material during bending or forming, causing micro-fractures or deformation.Perform bending operations within the recommended minimum bend radius for 6061-T6 aluminum to avoid material damage.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic cylinder construction
