Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard aluminum alloys where specific lubricating properties are required.Select Aluminum 6061 specifically for its suitability in lubricating environments due to its inherent corrosion resistance and compatibility with lubricants.
Failing to properly deburr cut edges.Always deburr all edges after cutting to prevent potential contamination of lubricating fluids and to ensure a smooth operational surface.

Common Applications

  • Componentry within fluid delivery systems
  • Bearings and bushings for low-friction movement
  • Guide rails and wear strips in automated machinery

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and fabricating aluminum.
  • Ensure compatibility of lubricants with Aluminum 6061 to prevent premature degradation.
