Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools without proper lubrication or speed adjustments.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped tools specifically designed for aluminum, and use appropriate cutting fluids to prevent galling and ensure clean cuts.
Overheating the aluminum during welding, leading to loss of mechanical properties.Utilize proper welding techniques for 6061-T6, such as TIG or MIG welding with appropriate filler materials, and maintain controlled heat input to preserve temper.

Common Applications
