Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect fasteners that can cause galvanic corrosion with brass.Utilize stainless steel or brass fasteners exclusively to prevent dissimilar metal reactions.
Overheating during machining, which can alter the material's temper and structural integrity.Employ appropriate cutting fluids and manage tool speeds to maintain acceptable operating temperatures during fabrication.

Common Applications

  • Custom shims and wear plates for conveyor systems
  • Non-sparking components for hazardous material handling equipment
  • Protective liners and guards for chutes and hoppers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during handling and fabrication.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation when cutting, grinding, or welding brass to avoid inhalation of fumes.
