Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive heat during fabrication, which can compromise the temper of the 6061 alloy.Employ appropriate welding and cutting techniques designed for aluminum alloys, minimizing heat-affected zones.
Failing to account for thermal expansion in high-temperature filtration environments.Design the filtration system with adequate allowances for thermal expansion and contraction of the Aluminum 6061.

Common Applications

  • Filter media support frames
  • Industrial strainers
  • Custom filtration housings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to highly acidic or alkaline environments without appropriate surface treatment or coatings.
  • Ensure proper handling and storage to prevent scratching or denting, which could impact structural integrity.
