Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners that do not adequately support the load.Always use fasteners with sufficient shear and tensile strength, properly sized for the expected operational loads.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can deform the aluminum sheet or strip threads.Utilize a torque wrench and adhere to recommended torque values to prevent material damage and ensure a secure connection.

Common Applications
