Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard, non-lubricating grade brass.Verify that the brass stock is specifically designated for lubricating applications, possessing the required alloy composition for low friction.
Insufficient surface preparation before machining.Thoroughly clean and deburr the brass sheet to prevent tool wear and ensure precise machining tolerances.

Common Applications

  • Self-lubricating bearings
  • Wear plates in sliding mechanisms
  • Bushings in heavy machinery

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to highly acidic or alkaline environments, which can degrade brass over time.
  • Ensure proper lubrication protocols are followed for components manufactured from this stock, even though brass has inherent lubricating properties.
