Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard brass for high-load, high-wear applications.Specify a brass alloy with enhanced wear resistance and a lower coefficient of friction, such as those designed for bearing or bushing applications.
Inadequate surface preparation before machining or bonding.Thoroughly degrease and clean all surfaces to ensure optimal adhesion and machining accuracy.

Common Applications

  • Self-lubricating bearings and bushings
  • Wear plates and sliding surfaces
  • Gears and sprockets in low-friction systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for applications involving significant impact loads or extreme temperatures.
  • Always consult material safety data sheets (MSDS) for handling and disposal recommendations.
