Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overheating during welding, leading to material degradation and reduced lubricating properties.Employ proper welding techniques, such as preheating and controlled cooling, to maintain the integrity of the carbon steel and its surface characteristics.
Using abrasive cleaning methods that can remove or damage the lubricating surface treatment.Clean the surface with non-abrasive solvents or mild detergents specifically designed for metal preparation, avoiding harsh scrubbing.

Common Applications

  • Stamping and deep drawing components
  • Wear strips and guides in automated machinery
  • Low-friction bearing surfaces and shims

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent cuts and abrasions.
  • Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion and maintain surface integrity.
