Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard brass alloys for high-friction applications.Select brass alloys specifically designed for lubricating properties to prevent premature wear and galling.
Insufficient surface preparation of mating parts.Ensure all mating surfaces are meticulously cleaned and free of imperfections to maximize the lubricating effect of the brass.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction bearings
  • Self-lubricating bushings
  • Wear plates and slides
  • Galling-resistant components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for extreme high-temperature applications where the lubricating properties may degrade.
  • While self-lubricating, consider supplementary lubrication in extremely high-pressure or high-speed environments for optimal performance and lifespan.
