Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to material deformation or poor edge quality.Employ high-speed steel or carbide cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum, ensuring adequate lubrication to prevent overheating and galling.
Overlooking the potential for galvanic corrosion when in contact with dissimilar metals in moist environments.Isolate Aluminum 6061 from more noble metals using non-conductive fasteners or protective coatings to prevent galvanic corrosion.

Common Applications
