Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion.Employ fasteners made from materials like stainless steel (300 series) or aluminum alloys with similar electrochemical potential to the 6061 sheet.
Over-tightening fasteners, potentially deforming the sheet or compromising its integrity.Adhere to recommended torque specifications for the chosen fasteners and application, using a torque wrench if necessary.

Common Applications
