Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard brass alloys in high-friction applications.Always specify a brass alloy explicitly designated for lubricating or bearing applications to ensure adequate wear resistance and low friction.
Improper surface preparation before installation.Thoroughly clean and degrease both the brass sheet and the mounting surface to prevent premature wear or adhesion issues.

Common Applications

  • Bearing surfaces
  • Bushings and sleeves
  • Wear plates in sliding mechanisms

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to aggressive chemicals that may degrade brass properties.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation when cutting or machining to prevent inhalation of brass dust.
