Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel for lubricating system components.Always opt for corrosion-resistant materials like 304 stainless steel to prevent rust and contamination of lubricants.
Not deburring sharp edges after cutting.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges to maintain material integrity and ensure safe handling.

Common Applications

  • Lubricant containment trays
  • Wear-resistant shims in machinery
  • Components for grease dispensing systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to avoid cuts from sharp edges.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or welding to avoid inhalation of fumes.
