Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners not rated for aluminum alloys, leading to galvanic corrosion.Utilize stainless steel or anodized aluminum fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure long-term integrity.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing deformation or stress risers in the aluminum sheet.Employ torque wrenches and follow recommended torque values for the specific fasteners and sheet thickness to avoid structural damage.

Common Applications
