Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong grade of carbon steel for lubricating applications.Always specify and verify the use of carbon steel specifically designated or engineered for lubricating properties to ensure optimal friction reduction and wear resistance.
Inadequate surface preparation before installation.Thoroughly clean and degrease both the stock sheet and the mating surface to prevent contamination that could compromise lubrication and increase wear.

Common Applications

  • Wear-resistant components in machinery
  • Sliding surfaces and guides
  • Bearing cages and retainers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with appropriate safety equipment to prevent cuts and abrasions.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when performing cutting, grinding, or welding operations due to potential airborne particles and fumes.
