Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fasteners that can lead to galvanic corrosion with aluminum.Utilize fasteners made of compatible materials such as stainless steel (300 series) or coated fasteners designed for aluminum applications.
Over-machining or stressing the material beyond its yield strength during fabrication.Adhere to recommended machining parameters and consider stress-relief annealing if significant cold working is performed.

Common Applications

  • Pressure vessel fabrication
  • Heat exchanger components
  • High-temperature structural supports

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and fabricating aluminum.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during welding or machining operations to avoid inhalation of fumes.
