Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to localized stress concentrations and potential cracking.Utilize torque wrenches to apply fasteners to recommended specifications, ensuring even pressure across the mounting area.
Using incompatible fasteners that can lead to galvanic corrosion with aluminum.Select fasteners made from compatible materials such as stainless steel (300 series) or anodized aluminum, and consider isolating dissimilar metals with washers or coatings.
