Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion with aluminum.Utilize corrosion-resistant fasteners such as stainless steel (300 series) or anodized aluminum fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Applying excessive force during bending or forming, leading to material cracking.Employ appropriate bending radii and techniques for Aluminum 6061 to avoid overstressing the material and causing premature failure.

Common Applications
