Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using general-purpose cutting tools not optimized for aluminum alloys.Employ specialized carbide or high-speed steel cutting tools designed for aluminum to prevent material buildup and ensure clean cuts.
Improper welding procedures for 6061 alloy, leading to reduced strength at the weld joint.Utilize appropriate filler metals (e.g., 4043 or 5356) and gas mixtures (e.g., Argon) with controlled heat input and post-weld heat treatment if required.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabrication of conveyor systems
  • Structural components for automated warehousing
