Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect welding procedures for Aluminum 6061.Employ TIG or MIG welding with appropriate filler metals (e.g., 4043 or 5356) and pre-heat if necessary for thicker sections.
Exceeding the alloy's tempering limits during fabrication.Understand the heat treatment (T6 is common for 6061) and avoid excessive localized heating that could degrade its mechanical properties.
