Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inadequate fasteners for the sheet's weight and application.Select fasteners (e.g., stainless steel bolts, rivets) rated for the tensile strength and shear forces required by the specific application and the brass sheet's dimensions.
Not accounting for thermal expansion in enclosed or temperature-fluctuating environments.Incorporate expansion joints or flexible mounting points where significant temperature variations may occur to prevent stress and deformation.

Common Applications

  • Custom protective packaging inserts
  • Reinforced shipping crates and containers
