Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners not rated for aluminum alloys, leading to galvanic corrosion.Utilize stainless steel or specialized aluminum fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure long-term integrity.
Applying excessive heat during welding or fabrication, compromising the temper and strength of the 6061 alloy.Employ proper welding techniques and heat management to maintain the alloy's temper and mechanical properties. Post-weld heat treatment may be necessary for critical applications.

Common Applications

  • Custom material handling platforms
  • Conveyor system components
