Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fasteners that can cause galvanic corrosion with aluminum.Employ fasteners made from compatible materials like stainless steel (300 series) or aluminum alloys. Consult material compatibility charts.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to localized stress concentrations and potential sheet deformation.Use a torque wrench set to the recommended torque values for the specific fastener size and material to ensure even clamping pressure.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures & Cabinets
