Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to burrs or material deformation.Employ high-speed steel or carbide cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum, ensuring proper feed rates and lubrication.
Overheating during welding, causing loss of temper and reduced strength.Utilize controlled welding processes such as TIG or MIG with appropriate filler materials for 6061, minimizing heat input and post-weld heat treatment if necessary.

Common Applications

  • Structural components
