Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard sheet metal fasteners not rated for aluminum's tensile strength.Employ high-strength, corrosion-resistant fasteners specifically designed for aluminum alloys, such as stainless steel or specialized aluminum rivets.
Inadequate surface preparation before joining or coating.Thoroughly degrease and abrade the aluminum surface to ensure optimal adhesion of coatings, sealants, or welding integrity.
