Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inadequate cutting tools leading to burrs or deformation.Employ sharp, precision cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum sheet metal to ensure clean, accurate cuts and minimize edge stress.
Failing to properly deburr edges.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges using a deburring tool or fine-grit sandpaper to eliminate sharp points that could compromise system integrity or fluid flow.

Common Applications

  • Lubricant reservoir fabrication
  • Custom pump housing components
  • Hydraulic line fittings and manifolds

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility of Aluminum 6061 with the specific lubricating fluid being used.
  • Handle with care to avoid scratching or marring the surface, which could affect performance in sensitive lubricating systems.
