Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners not rated for aluminum, leading to galvanic corrosion.Utilize fasteners made of compatible materials such as stainless steel (300 series) or aluminum alloys specifically designed for use with 6061.
Improper welding parameters that can compromise the heat-treated properties of 6061.Employ TIG or MIG welding with appropriate filler metals (e.g., 4043 or 5356) and strictly adhere to manufacturer-recommended parameters for heat-affected zone control.

Common Applications
