Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners without considering galvanic corrosion with aluminum.Employ stainless steel (300 series) or specialized aluminum fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Applying excessive heat during welding, leading to a reduction in strength around the weld zone.Utilize proper welding techniques and filler materials (e.g., 4043 or 5356 alloy) for 6061-T6 to minimize heat-affected zone degradation.

Common Applications

  • Custom Conveyor System Components
  • Fabrication of Pallet Bases and Supports
  • Dunnage and Fixturing for Material Storage

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper personal protective equipment (PPE) is used during cutting and fabrication processes.
  • Store in a dry environment to prevent surface oxidation and maintain material integrity.
