Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overheating during welding, leading to loss of temper and reduced strength.Utilize appropriate welding techniques for 6061-T6, such as TIG or MIG, and implement controlled preheating and post-weld heat treatment if necessary, adhering to industry best practices.
Improper selection of fasteners, resulting in inadequate load transfer or galvanic corrosion.Select fasteners made from compatible materials (e.g., stainless steel or aluminum alloys) and employ appropriate surface preparation and isolation techniques to prevent galvanic corrosion.

Common Applications
