Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools or techniques that can lead to burrs or uneven edges, compromising seal integrity.Employ sharp, high-quality cutting tools specifically designed for brass, and maintain proper feed rates and speeds to achieve clean, precise cuts.
Inadequate cleaning of the brass surface prior to fabrication, leading to inclusions in the final component.Thoroughly degrease and clean the brass sheet with an appropriate solvent to remove all oils, greases, and particulate matter.

Common Applications
