Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard brass alloys not optimized for lubrication.Always specify a brass alloy known for its self-lubricating or low-friction properties for this type of application.
Improper surface preparation leading to poor adhesion or wear.Thoroughly clean and degrease both the brass sheet and the mating surface before installation.

Common Applications

  • Self-lubricating bearings
  • Wear plates in sliding mechanisms
  • Bushings for rotating shafts

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to aggressive acids or strong oxidizing agents, which can degrade brass.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining brass to avoid inhaling dust.
