Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners for load-bearing connections.Always select fasteners with a shear strength and tensile strength exceeding the maximum anticipated load.
Improper handling leading to deformation or damage before installation.Utilize appropriate lifting equipment and protective measures during transport and positioning to maintain structural integrity.

Common Applications

  • Custom lifting frame fabrication
  • Reinforcement plates for pulling mechanisms
  • Structural components in material handling equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Maximum load capacity must be determined by a qualified engineer based on specific application and fastening method.
  • Avoid exposing the material to environments with strong alkalis or acids, which can degrade aluminum.
