Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a lower grade of carbon steel not optimized for lubrication.Always select carbon steel specifically designated or known to perform well in lubricating environments to ensure optimal friction reduction and wear resistance.
Improper surface preparation leading to increased friction.Thoroughly clean and deburr all edges and surfaces after fabrication to prevent premature wear and ensure smooth operation with lubricants.

Common Applications

  • Bearing surfaces in industrial machinery
  • Guide rails and slides in automated systems
  • Components requiring low-friction movement

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • May rust if not properly protected in humid or corrosive environments.
  • Requires appropriate safety precautions during cutting and fabrication due to sharp edges.
