Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners not rated for brass, leading to galvanic corrosion.Employ stainless steel or brass-compatible fasteners to prevent corrosive reactions.
Applying excessive force during bending or shaping, causing premature cracking.Utilize proper bending radii and avoid overworking the material; consider annealing if extensive deformation is required.

Common Applications
