Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners that cannot handle the anticipated tensile or shear loads.Select fasteners with adequate shear and tensile strength ratings, considering the material's yield and ultimate strength.
Neglecting proper surface preparation, leading to poor adhesion or potential stress risers.Thoroughly clean and degrease the sheet surface before any bonding or welding operations.

Common Applications

  • Custom structural components for lifting equipment
  • Reinforcement plates in pulling mechanisms
  • Custom jig and fixture construction

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper load calculations are performed before application to prevent structural failure.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to highly alkaline or acidic environments, which can degrade aluminum.
