Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners not rated for aluminum, leading to galvanic corrosion.Utilize fasteners specifically designed for aluminum alloys, such as stainless steel or anodized aluminum fasteners, to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can deform the aluminum sheet and compromise structural integrity.Employ torque wrenches and follow manufacturer specifications for fastener torque values to avoid over-tightening and material stress.

Common Applications
