Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without considering galvanic corrosion potential with aluminum.Employ fasteners made from compatible materials such as stainless steel (300 series) or aluminum alloys to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Applying excessive heat during fabrication processes (welding, machining) which can alter temper and mechanical properties.Control heat input during fabrication. For welding, use appropriate procedures for 6061-T6. For machining, use sharp tooling and adequate coolant.

Common Applications

  • Custom structural bracing
