Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard brass alloys for high-friction applications.Utilize this specialized lubricating grade brass for its inherent self-lubricating properties.
Improper surface preparation of mating components.Thoroughly clean and deburr both the brass sheet and the mating surface to prevent premature wear.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction bushings and bearings
  • Wear plates in sliding mechanisms
  • Lubricated thrust washers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to highly corrosive environments, which may degrade the brass alloy over time.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining to manage airborne particulate.
