Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a general-purpose brass alloy instead of a lubricating grade.Always specify and procure lubricating grade brass stock for applications requiring self-lubricating properties to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Improper cleaning of mating surfaces before installation.Thoroughly clean both the brass sheet and the mating surface to prevent premature wear and ensure smooth operation.

Common Applications

  • Wear plates and guides in automated machinery
  • Bushings and bearings in low-speed, high-load applications
  • Custom fabricated sliding components and fixtures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposing to aggressive acidic or alkaline environments without protective coatings, as brass can corrode.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining or cutting brass to avoid inhaling fine dust particles.
