Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners not rated for aluminum, potentially causing galvanic corrosion.Utilize fasteners made of compatible materials, such as stainless steel (300 series), to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Improperly supporting the sheet during fabrication or installation, leading to bowing or warping.Implement adequate support structures during cutting, machining, and installation to maintain flatness and dimensional accuracy.

Common Applications

  • Heat Exchanger Components
  • Heat Sink Fabrication
  • Industrial Process Cooling Systems
  • HVAC Ductwork and Components
  • Thermal Management Substrates

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged contact with dissimilar metals in corrosive environments without proper isolation.
  • When machining, ensure adequate coolant is used to prevent tool overheating and material galling.
