Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fasteners that may cause galvanic corrosion with aluminum.Always utilize fasteners made of compatible materials, such as stainless steel (300 series) or cadmium-plated steel, to prevent galvanic reactions.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to deformation or cracking of the aluminum sheet.Employ torque wrenches to ensure fasteners are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended specifications, preventing undue stress on the material.

Common Applications

  • Lubrication manifold construction
  • Custom reservoir fabrication
  • Sealing plates for lubricant pathways

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining to avoid inhalation of aluminum dust.
  • Avoid contact with strong acids and alkalis, which can degrade aluminum 6061.
