Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to burrs or material deformation.Utilize high-speed steel or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for brass, and maintain appropriate feed rates and speeds.
Insufficient consideration of thermal expansion in high-temperature hydraulic systems.Account for brass's coefficient of thermal expansion during design and assembly to prevent stress or component failure.
