| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard mild steel fabrication techniques for Aluminum 6061 without adjustments. | Employ welding processes like TIG or MIG specifically suited for aluminum, utilizing appropriate filler materials and Argon shielding gas. Machining requires specialized tooling and feed rates due to aluminum's lower melting point and tendency to gall. |
| Neglecting to account for thermal expansion during welding or high-temperature operations. | Implement proper fixturing and controlled heating/cooling cycles to minimize distortion caused by aluminum's higher coefficient of thermal expansion compared to steel. |
