Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without proper lubrication or speed settings.Employ specialized carbide or high-speed steel cutting tools designed for aluminum, along with appropriate coolant and recommended cutting speeds to prevent material buildup and ensure clean cuts.
Applying excessive heat during welding or forming processes.Control heat input carefully to avoid compromising the mechanical properties of the 6061 alloy. Employ techniques like TIG or MIG welding with argon shielding gas and consider post-weld heat treatment if necessary.

Common Applications
