Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper surface preparation leading to poor adhesion or sealing.Ensure all mounting surfaces are meticulously cleaned and degreased before installation.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing deformation or stress on the aluminum.Utilize calibrated torque wrenches and adhere to specified torque values for all fasteners.

Common Applications

  • Custom Lubrication Manifold Fabrication
  • Bearing Housing Components
  • Protective Covers for Lubrication Systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility with other materials in the lubrication system to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • Handle with care to avoid scratching or damaging the finished surface, which could compromise corrosion resistance.
