Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting fluids not designed for brass, leading to poor surface finish and tool wear.Employ cutting fluids specifically formulated for brass or copper alloys to optimize machinability and prolong tool life.
Ignoring potential galvanic corrosion when in contact with dissimilar metals in a hydraulic system.Implement appropriate isolation techniques or material selection strategies to prevent galvanic corrosion, especially in marine or corrosive environments.
