Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard brass in high-wear lubricating applications.Always specify lubricating grade brass for applications requiring reduced friction and improved wear resistance.
Improper surface preparation leading to premature wear.Thoroughly clean and deburr all mating surfaces before installation to ensure optimal contact and performance.

Common Applications

  • Self-lubricating bearings
  • Wear plates and slides
  • Bushings and sleeve bearings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to highly acidic or alkaline environments which can degrade brass over time.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining or fabricating brass to avoid inhalation of metal dust.
