Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools without proper lubrication for aluminum 6061.Employ specialized carbide or HSS tooling designed for aluminum, along with a suitable coolant or lubricant to prevent chip welding and overheating.
Inadequate consideration of thermal expansion during welding or heat treatment.Implement proper joint design and pre-heating/post-heating procedures to manage thermal stresses and prevent distortion or cracking.

Common Applications

  • Aerospace components and structures
  • Automotive frames and body parts
  • Marine fittings and hull construction

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges after cutting.
  • Consult material safety data sheets (MSDS) for specific handling and safety precautions.
