Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper welding parameters leading to porosity or cracking.Utilize appropriate filler metal (e.g., 4043 or 5356) and follow recommended welding procedures for 6061-T6, ensuring proper preheat and interpass temperatures.
Overworking the material during bending, causing stress fractures.Employ appropriate bend radii and consider annealing if significant forming is required to prevent cracking.
