Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel fasteners without considering galvanic corrosion with aluminum.Utilize stainless steel fasteners (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) or apply appropriate isolation compounds between dissimilar metals.
Exceeding the recommended heat input during welding, leading to reduced mechanical properties.Employ controlled welding procedures, such as TIG or MIG welding with appropriate filler materials, and adhere to recommended heat input limits for 6061-T6.

Common Applications
