Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong thickness for the intended load-bearing capacity of the filtration element.Consult structural load calculations for the specific filtration application to determine the minimum required sheet thickness.
Improper welding procedures leading to reduced material strength or cracking.Utilize inert gas welding (e.g., TIG) with appropriate filler materials and pre/post-weld heat treatments as recommended for 6061-T6 alloy.

Common Applications

  • Industrial filtration screens
  • Fluid and gas separation media support
  • Custom filter housing components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper personal protective equipment (PPE) is used during fabrication and handling.
  • Avoid contact with strong acids or bases, which can degrade aluminum alloys.
