| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using incorrect welding procedures for Aluminum 6061, leading to compromised joint strength. | Employ TIG or MIG welding with appropriate filler materials (e.g., 4043 or 5356) and pre-heating, followed by post-weld heat treatment if required for optimal mechanical properties. |
| Insufficient consideration of thermal expansion in component design, leading to stress or deformation. | Account for the coefficient of thermal expansion (approximately 23.0 µm/m·°C) of Aluminum 6061 in designs to accommodate temperature fluctuations and prevent mechanical failure. |
