Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper surface preparation leading to poor lubricant adhesion.Ensure the surface is meticulously cleaned and degreased before installation to promote optimal lubricant retention.
Using incorrect fasteners that can cause galvanic corrosion.Select fasteners made from compatible materials, such as stainless steel, to prevent electrochemical reactions with the aluminum.

Common Applications

  • Bearing races in high-load machinery
  • Guide rails for automated lubrication systems
  • Wear plates in food processing equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged contact with strong alkaline or acidic substances, which can degrade the aluminum's protective oxide layer.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during machining processes to prevent inhalation of aluminum dust.
