Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a standard brass alloy instead of a lubricating grade.Select a brass alloy specifically formulated for lubricating properties to ensure optimal friction reduction and wear resistance.
Insufficient surface preparation of mating components.Thoroughly clean and, if applicable, roughen the surface of the component against which the brass will slide to promote lubricant adhesion.

Common Applications

  • Bearing surfaces
  • Bushings and sleeves
  • Wear plates

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper ventilation during machining operations to avoid inhaling brass dust.
  • Handle with care to prevent scratches or damage to the precise surface finish.
