Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion with aluminum.Utilize fasteners made from compatible materials such as stainless steel (300 series), aluminum alloys, or properly coated fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Improper welding techniques for Aluminum 6061, resulting in compromised joint strength.Employ appropriate welding processes (e.g., TIG or MIG) with the correct filler material (e.g., 4043 or 5356) and pre-weld cleaning procedures to ensure strong, defect-free welds.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabrication of storage tanks and sumps
  • Durable structural components for janitorial equipment
  • Corrosion-resistant piping and fitting modifications

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and fabricating aluminum, including safety glasses, gloves, and respiratory protection if grinding or welding.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when welding or cutting Aluminum 6061 to avoid inhalation of fumes.
