Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard brass alloys where specific lubricating properties are required.Always specify a brass alloy known for its self-lubricating characteristics for applications demanding reduced friction.
Inadequate surface preparation of mating components, leading to premature wear.Thoroughly clean and deburr all mating surfaces before installation to ensure optimal performance and lifespan.

Common Applications

  • Self-lubricating bearings
  • Wear pads and strips
  • Guide bushings and sleeves

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining to avoid inhalation of brass dust.
  • Avoid prolonged contact with strong acids or alkalis, which can degrade the brass alloy.
