Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fasteners that can lead to galvanic corrosion with aluminum.Employ fasteners made of compatible materials like stainless steel (300 series) or aluminum alloys to prevent dissimilar metal corrosion.
Inadequate surface preparation, resulting in poor thermal transfer.Thoroughly clean all mating surfaces with an appropriate degreaser and ensure they are free of debris, oxidation, or burrs before assembly.

Common Applications

  • Heat exchangers
  • Radiator components
  • Industrial oven linings
  • Chiller system components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid scratching or denting, which can compromise structural integrity.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining or welding to avoid exposure to aluminum dust or fumes.
