Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting methods that induce excessive heat, leading to material property degradation.Employ cutting techniques that minimize heat input, such as waterjet cutting or low-speed diamond sawing.
Inadequate edge preparation after cutting, resulting in sharp edges that can cause premature failure or safety hazards.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges using a file or deburring tool to achieve a smooth, rounded profile.

Common Applications

  • Custom manifold fabrication for fluid control
  • Heat exchanger plates and housings
  • Structural components for pressure vessels and control enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid scratching or denting the surface, which can compromise integrity.
  • When welding, ensure proper joint preparation and use appropriate filler materials for Aluminum 6061 to maintain strength.
