Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel fasteners in a corrosive environment with brass.Employ stainless steel or brass fasteners specifically designed for corrosive resistance to prevent galvanic corrosion and maintain joint integrity.
Improper cutting or shaping techniques that can generate excessive heat or sparks.Utilize specialized cutting tools and techniques for non-ferrous metals that minimize heat generation and prevent spark formation, such as coolant-lubricated sawing or milling.

Common Applications

  • Electrical grounding and bonding components
