Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper surface preparation leading to poor adhesion or sealing.Thoroughly degrease and clean the installation surface before placement.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress concentrations.Utilize torque-limiting tools and follow recommended fastener torque values for the application.

Common Applications

  • Pressure vessel components
  • Heat exchanger plates
  • Temperature control manifolds
  • Fluidic system housings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to environments with high concentrations of corrosive chemicals that may exceed 6061's resistance limits.
  • Ensure proper thermal expansion considerations are integrated into the design to prevent stress buildup.
