Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard 6061 for critical lubricating fluid contact without proper surface treatment.Ensure the surface is treated or coated to prevent potential galvanic corrosion or particulate generation in sensitive lubrication systems.
Improper machining leading to burrs that can contaminate lubricant.Employ appropriate machining techniques and deburring processes to maintain a clean, smooth surface critical for lubricant flow.

Common Applications

  • Lubricant manifold construction
  • Bearing housing fabrication
  • Fluid reservoir manufacturing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid surface damage that could impact lubrication efficiency.
  • Ensure compatibility with specific lubricants being used to prevent chemical degradation.
