Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a standard 6061 alloy not specified for lubricating properties in critical wear applications.Verify that the specific grade of 6061 purchased is intended and certified for lubricating or wear-resistant applications, which may involve specific alloying elements or surface treatments.
Inadequate surface preparation leading to poor lubrication performance.Thoroughly clean and deburr all edges and surfaces of the aluminum sheet prior to installation to ensure optimal contact and fluid distribution.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction bearing surfaces
  • Wear plates and guides
  • Bushings and sleeves

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and fabricating aluminum.
  • Ensure compatibility of any lubricants or coolants used with Aluminum 6061 to prevent galvanic corrosion or material degradation.
