Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a material with insufficient corrosion resistance for the specific lubricant or environment.Always verify the chemical compatibility of Aluminum 6061 with the intended lubricants and operating conditions to prevent degradation.
Failing to deburr or chamfer edges after cutting, leading to premature wear in contact areas.Thoroughly deburr and chamfer all cut edges to create a smooth transition and minimize friction and wear.

Common Applications

  • Lubricant reservoir fabrication
  • Pump component manufacturing
  • Bearing and bushing substrates

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during cutting and handling.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when working with lubricants and metal dust.
