Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard brass instead of a lubricating grade for high-friction applications.Always select a lubricating-grade brass specifically designed for low friction and wear reduction.
Insufficient surface preparation before installation, leading to premature wear.Thoroughly clean and deburr all mating surfaces before installing the brass stock sheet.

Common Applications

  • Bearing surfaces and bushings
  • Sliding components in machinery
  • Wear plates and friction pads

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to highly aggressive acidic or alkaline environments which may degrade brass.
  • Ensure proper lubrication protocols are maintained in conjunction with the brass material for optimal performance.
