Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a lower grade of aluminum for critical lubricating components.Always specify Aluminum 6061 or a comparable high-performance alloy for applications demanding durability and corrosion resistance.
Improper surface preparation before integration into a lubricating system.Thoroughly clean and deburr all edges and surfaces to prevent premature wear or contamination of the lubricant.

Common Applications

  • Bearing surfaces in machinery
  • Custom lubrication system components
  • Anti-friction guides and rails

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid nicks and scratches that could compromise surface integrity.
  • Ensure compatibility with the specific lubricant being used.
