Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a standard aluminum alloy not specified for lubricating applications.Always select Aluminum 6061 specifically designated for lubricating or bearing component manufacturing to ensure proper performance.
Improper machining leading to surface imperfections.Utilize sharp, well-maintained cutting tools and appropriate speeds/feeds for 6061 aluminum to achieve a smooth, consistent surface finish essential for lubricant retention.

Common Applications

  • Bearing races and cages
  • Pump impellers and housings
  • Shaft sleeves and seals

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to prevent nicks or scratches which can compromise lubricant film integrity.
  • Ensure compatibility with specific lubricants used in the application to prevent galvanic corrosion.
