Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners not rated for aluminum which can cause galvanic corrosion.Utilize fasteners made from compatible materials like stainless steel (300 series) or anodized aluminum to prevent corrosion.
Excessive heat input during welding, leading to loss of temper in the surrounding material.Employ controlled welding procedures, such as TIG welding with appropriate filler material and heat management, to maintain material properties.
