Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners not rated for aluminum alloys, leading to galvanic corrosion.Employ stainless steel or specially coated fasteners designed for aluminum to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Improper welding techniques that can compromise the T6 temper's strength.Utilize TIG or MIG welding with appropriate filler material (e.g., 4043 or 5356) and pre/post-weld heat treatment if critical strength is required.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabricated containment units
  • Heavy-duty shelving and support structures
  • Corrosion-resistant work surfaces and splash guards

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when cutting or fabricating aluminum.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when welding or grinding aluminum to avoid inhalation of fumes.
