Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without considering galvanic corrosion in moist environments.Utilize stainless steel or properly coated fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion when in contact with dissimilar metals.
Overheating the aluminum during welding, leading to loss of strength in the heat-affected zone.Employ proper welding techniques and heat management to maintain the structural integrity of the 6061 alloy.
