Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel fasteners which can cause galvanic corrosion with aluminum.Utilize aluminum, stainless steel (300 series), or cadmium-plated steel fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Aggressive machining speeds leading to work hardening and tool breakage.Employ moderate cutting speeds and ample lubrication, utilizing sharp, dedicated aluminum tooling to manage heat and chip evacuation.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosure Fabrication
  • Lighting Fixture Mounts and Housings
  • Heat Sinks and Thermal Management Components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper grounding and electrical insulation when used in electrical applications.
  • Avoid prolonged contact with dissimilar metals in corrosive environments to prevent galvanic corrosion.
