Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard brass for high-friction applications.Always select lubricating brass alloys specifically designed to reduce friction and wear.
Inadequate lubrication of fabricated brass components.Ensure that the operating environment for the brass component is adequately lubricated, even with inherent lubricity.

Common Applications

  • Journal Bearings
  • Bushings and Sleeve Bearings
  • Wear Plates and Strips

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for applications requiring extreme tensile strength or high impact resistance.
