Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fasteners that can cause galvanic corrosion with aluminum.Utilize compatible fasteners, such as stainless steel (304 or 316) or aluminum fasteners, with appropriate isolation if necessary.
Overheating the aluminum during fabrication, leading to loss of mechanical properties.Employ controlled heating and cooling cycles during welding or forming processes, and consult material data sheets for recommended temperature limits.

Common Applications

  • Heat Exchanger Components
  • Pressure Vessel Linings
  • Thermal Management Systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining or welding to prevent inhalation of fumes.
