Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard aluminum for high-temperature applications without considering thermal expansion.Select alloys like 6061 known for their thermal properties and account for expansion/contraction in the design.
Improper cleaning before welding, leading to porosity and weak joints.Thoroughly degrease and mechanically clean the aluminum surfaces prior to welding.

Common Applications

  • Heat Exchanger Construction
