Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard aluminum for high-friction applications without considering surface treatment.Select Aluminum 6061 designated for lubricating applications, or apply appropriate surface coatings/treatments to reduce friction and wear.
Improper cutting techniques that can induce stress risers or deform the sheet.Utilize sharp, appropriate cutting tools and methods for aluminum alloys to maintain material integrity and dimensional accuracy.

Common Applications

  • Bearings and Bushings
  • Sliding Components
  • Low-Friction Conveyor Systems
  • Guideways and Tracks

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to highly corrosive environments without protective coatings, as Aluminum 6061 can be susceptible to certain forms of corrosion.
  • Ensure proper ventilation and safety precautions when machining or welding Aluminum 6061, as aluminum dust and fumes can be hazardous.
