Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel fasteners without proper consideration for galvanic corrosion when in contact with aluminum.Employ stainless steel or aluminum-specific fasteners. If unavoidable, use appropriate isolation coatings or washers to prevent dissimilar metal corrosion.
Overheating the aluminum during welding or cutting, leading to loss of temper and reduced mechanical properties.Utilize proper welding techniques (e.g., TIG) and heat input controls. Employ appropriate cutting speeds and lubrication to minimize heat buildup.

Common Applications
