Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect welding consumables for Aluminum 6061, leading to reduced joint strength.Utilize 4043 or 5356 aluminum filler metal, depending on the specific joint requirements and desired mechanical properties.
Applying excessive heat during welding, causing annealing and weakening of the surrounding material.Employ proper welding techniques such as TIG or MIG with controlled amperage and interpass temperatures to minimize heat input.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabricated lifting lugs
