Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a standard steel sheet not rated for lubricating applications.Always select carbon steel specifically designated for lubricating environments to ensure proper surface finish and material compatibility.
Inadequate edge preparation after cutting.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges to prevent micro-shavings from contaminating the lubricant and causing premature wear.

Common Applications

  • Bearing surfaces
  • Gear components
  • Sliding mechanisms

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges.
  • Ensure proper lubrication protocols are maintained when integrating into systems.
