Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using insufficient lubrication on cutting tools when machining.Employ generous amounts of high-quality cutting fluid to prevent excessive heat buildup and tool wear during fabrication.
Improperly cleaning the surface before installation.Thoroughly degrease and de-rust the sheet and mounting surface to ensure optimal adhesion and prevent premature corrosion.

Common Applications

  • Bearing surfaces in heavy machinery
  • Low-friction guide rails
  • Specialized lubrication system components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to avoid cuts from sharp edges.
  • Carbon steel is susceptible to rust; ensure proper coating or environment control if exposed to moisture.
