Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners not rated for aluminum applications.Utilize fasteners specifically designed for aluminum, such as those with washers or collars to distribute load and prevent galvanic corrosion.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to material deformation or stress risers.Employ a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's recommended specification for the fastener size and material to ensure proper clamping force without damaging the aluminum sheet.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabrication for lifting fixtures
  • Structural components for material handling systems
  • Gantry crane sub-assemblies

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not expose to prolonged contact with dissimilar metals in corrosive environments without proper isolation to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • Ensure proper welding procedures are followed if joining to other aluminum alloys or materials to maintain structural integrity and alloy properties.
