Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a generic brass alloy not designed for lubrication.Specify and use a brass alloy specifically formulated for its self-lubricating properties to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Improper surface preparation before installation.Thoroughly clean and deburr all mating surfaces to prevent premature wear and ensure even contact.

Common Applications

  • Self-lubricating bearings
  • Wear plates and strips
  • Bushings and sleeves

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to highly corrosive environments that may degrade brass.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during machining operations to prevent inhalation of brass dust.
