Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect welding parameters for 6061 aluminum, leading to reduced joint strength or cracking.Consult welding procedure specifications (WPS) for 6061-T6 or T651 alloys and utilize appropriate filler metals (e.g., 4043 or 5356).
Subjecting the material to excessive heat during machining or forming, which can alter its temper and mechanical properties.Employ efficient cooling methods during machining and avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures during fabrication processes.

Common Applications
