Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using improper fasteners that can corrode or damage the aluminum.Employ stainless steel or cadmium-plated fasteners specifically designed for use with aluminum alloys to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Over-machining or excessive heat during fabrication, leading to material stress or deformation.Utilize appropriate cutting speeds, lubrication, and cooling methods during machining to maintain material integrity and dimensional accuracy.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifolds
  • Pump and Valve Housings
  • Structural Components in Fluid Power Systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility with other materials in the hydraulic system to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • Avoid excessive heat during welding or forming processes which can alter the temper and properties of 6061 aluminum.
