Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using fasteners not rated for the load or incompatible with aluminum, leading to galvanic corrosion or structural failure.Always select fasteners made from compatible materials (e.g., stainless steel 304 or 316) with appropriate load ratings for the specific application.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can deform the aluminum sheet or lead to stress concentrations.Tighten fasteners to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications, using a torque wrench if necessary, to avoid damaging the material.

Common Applications
