Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fasteners that can cause galvanic corrosion with aluminum.Employ fasteners made from compatible materials such as stainless steel (300 series) or anodized aluminum.
Applying excessive heat during welding, leading to loss of temper and reduced strength in the heat-affected zone.Utilize appropriate welding techniques and filler metals for 6061, and consider post-weld heat treatment if full strength is required.

Common Applications

  • Structural components in aerospace and automotive industries
