Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible fasteners that can lead to galvanic corrosion.Always select fasteners made from compatible materials, such as stainless steel (304 or 316) or aluminum of similar grade, to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Improper handling leading to scratches or deformation.Utilize non-marring tools and appropriate lifting equipment during handling and installation to maintain surface integrity and dimensional accuracy.

Common Applications

  • Pressure vessel components
  • Heat exchanger plates
  • Thermal management systems
  • Fluid control manifolds

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining or welding to avoid inhalation of aluminum fumes.
