Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fasteners leading to galvanic corrosion with aluminum.Utilize fasteners made of compatible materials such as stainless steel (300 series) or aluminum alloys to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Over-stressing the material beyond its yield strength during installation.Perform load calculations to ensure fastening points and structural design do not exceed the material's rated tensile or yield strength.

Common Applications

  • Bridge and structural bracing
  • Industrial equipment suspension
  • Aerospace component fabrication

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper grounding if used in electrical applications to prevent arcing.
  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges and potential cuts.
