Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners for the sheet thickness.Select fasteners with an appropriate shear strength and length to adequately support the 0.990" thickness and anticipated loads.
Neglecting to consider environmental exposure for corrosion prevention.While 6061 is corrosion-resistant, for extreme environments, consider protective coatings or anodizing during fabrication.
