Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong fastener material, leading to galvanic corrosion.Always use compatible fastener materials, such as stainless steel or aluminum alloys of similar electrochemical potential, to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Insufficient surface preparation of mating components.Thoroughly clean and degrease all mating surfaces to ensure optimal contact and adhesion, preventing premature wear or leaks in the lubrication system.

Common Applications

  • Bearing retainers in lubrication systems
  • Pumps and fluid handling components
  • Protective covers for lubricating mechanisms

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkaline or acidic environments which can degrade aluminum.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining to prevent inhalation of aluminum dust.
