Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not rated for aluminum thickness.Employ carbide-tipped or specialized aluminum cutting blades to prevent chipping, overheating, and tool damage.
Neglecting to account for thermal expansion/contraction in enclosed designs.Incorporate expansion gaps or flexible mounting points during assembly to accommodate Aluminum 6061's thermal properties.

Common Applications
