| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Over-tightening the aluminum screw, which can strip the threads or deform the material. | Always use a torque wrench and adhere to the specified torque values for Aluminum 6061 fasteners to prevent damage. |
| Using steel tooling on aluminum threads, which can damage the softer aluminum. | Employ appropriate tooling designed for aluminum fasteners, such as hardened steel wrenches or drivers, to avoid galling or stripping. |
