Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a lower grade aluminum for wear surfaces.Utilize Aluminum 6061 for its superior hardness and wear resistance in lubricating applications.
Failing to deburr edges after machining.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges to prevent premature wear or damage to adjacent components within the lubricating system.

Common Applications

  • Wear plates in high-friction machinery
  • Custom bearings and bushings
  • Guide rails and slides in automated systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid scratches that could compromise surface integrity for lubrication.
  • Ensure proper machining coolants are used to maintain material properties and prevent thermal stress.
