Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible fasteners that will corrode the aluminum.Always use stainless steel or aluminum fasteners specifically rated for 6061 alloy to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Improper welding technique leading to reduced strength or porosity.Utilize TIG or MIG welding with appropriate filler materials (e.g., 4043 or 5356) and ensure proper shielding gas coverage.

Common Applications

  • Custom tank and vessel construction
  • Corrosion-resistant ductwork and ventilation systems
  • Durable shelving and support structures in janitorial closets

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses and gloves when handling and cutting metal.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting, grinding, or welding to avoid inhalation of fumes.
