Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel tools which can cause contamination and galvanic corrosion.Always use dedicated stainless steel or aluminum tools when working with aluminum alloys to prevent contamination.
Overheating during welding, leading to loss of temper and reduced strength.Control heat input during welding by using proper techniques and filler metals (e.g., 4043 or 5356) for 6061-T6.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace components
  • Marine structures
  • Automotive parts
