Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools on hard aluminum alloys without proper lubrication.Employ high-speed steel or carbide cutting tools and utilize a cutting fluid specifically designed for aluminum to prevent galling and improve surface finish.
Overheating the aluminum during welding, leading to loss of strength in the heat-affected zone.Employ proper welding techniques for 6061, such as TIG or MIG welding with appropriate filler metals, and pre-heat if necessary, controlling heat input to minimize distortion and maintain mechanical properties.
