Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fasteners for the application.Select fasteners (e.g., stainless steel, compatible aluminum alloys) that are rated for the intended load and environmental conditions to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Improper welding techniques leading to reduced strength.Employ recommended welding procedures for 6061 aluminum, utilizing appropriate filler metals (e.g., 4043 or 5356) and shielding gas to maintain structural integrity.

Common Applications

  • Structural components in aerospace and automotive
  • Marine hardware and fittings
