Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a lower-grade aluminum for lubricating components.Always specify Aluminum 6061 for its superior corrosion resistance and machinability, critical for long-term performance in lubricating environments.
Inadequate surface preparation before assembly.Thoroughly clean and deburr all edges and surfaces of the Aluminum 6061 sheet to prevent premature wear and ensure smooth operation of the lubricating system.

Common Applications

  • Bearing components
  • Sliding mechanisms
  • Wear strips for lubrication systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid scratching or marring the surface, which can impact lubricating performance.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining Aluminum 6061, as fine dust can be generated.
