Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible fasteners that can cause galvanic corrosion with aluminum.Employ stainless steel or aluminum-specific fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Improper surface preparation leading to poor adhesion or premature wear in lubricating systems.Thoroughly degrease and mechanically abrade the surface before installation to ensure optimal surface contact and lubricant film integrity.

Common Applications

  • Lubricant reservoirs and containment
  • Wear-resistant component substrates
  • Bearing housing and support structures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • May require specific surface treatments for optimal lubricant retention.
  • Consider potential for galling if in direct sliding contact without adequate lubrication.
