Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fasteners for load-bearing applications.Consult engineering load charts and select fasteners (e.g., bolts, rivets) rated for the anticipated stress and shear forces.
Overheating the aluminum during welding, leading to reduced strength.Employ proper welding techniques and heat control to maintain the integrity of the 6061 alloy's temper.

Common Applications
