Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel fasteners without proper consideration for galvanic corrosion.Utilize compatible fasteners (e.g., stainless steel with isolation) to prevent galvanic corrosion between aluminum and dissimilar metals.
Overheating during welding, leading to loss of temper and reduced strength.Employ proper welding techniques for aluminum alloys, including controlled heat input and post-weld heat treatment if critical strength is required.

Common Applications

  • Custom lifting fixture fabrication
  • Reinforcement plates for rigging components
