Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized or low-grade fasteners for critical load-bearing connections.Always utilize fasteners that meet or exceed the tensile strength requirements for the anticipated loads and are compatible with Aluminum 6061.
Neglecting to account for thermal expansion and contraction in the design.Incorporate appropriate allowances or expansion joints to prevent stress buildup due to temperature fluctuations.

Common Applications
