Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper cleaning of the substrate prior to installation, leading to poor adhesion or uneven surface.Thoroughly clean the mounting surface with a degreaser and ensure it is completely dry before positioning the sheet.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can distort the sheet and compromise dimensional accuracy.Use hand-tightening or torque-controlled methods for fasteners, and consider using washers to distribute pressure.

Common Applications

  • Precision calibration standards
  • Layout and marking surfaces
  • Fixture and jig construction
  • Prototypes and R&D projects

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid scratches or dents that could affect measurement accuracy.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining or cutting to avoid inhaling aluminum dust.
