Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard sheet metal fabrication techniques without considering the thickness and alloy properties of 6061.Utilize tooling and speeds/feeds specifically recommended for thicker aluminum alloys to prevent tool breakage and ensure accurate cuts.
Inadequate post-fabrication cleaning, leading to surface contamination that could compromise corrosion resistance.Thoroughly clean all surfaces with appropriate degreasers and non-abrasive materials after fabrication and before assembly or installation.

Common Applications

  • Pressure Vessel Fabrication
  • Heat Exchanger Components
  • Control System Housings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings
