Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard brass where a lubricating grade is required.Always select lubricating grade brass for components experiencing sliding friction to prevent premature wear and seizing.
Inadequate surface preparation of mating components.Thoroughly clean and deburr all mating surfaces to ensure smooth operation and prevent abrasive wear.

Common Applications

  • Bearing surfaces and bushings
  • Wear plates and guides
  • Lubricated sliding mechanisms

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposing to aggressive acidic or alkaline environments which can degrade brass.
  • Ensure proper lubrication is maintained to maximize the lifespan of components made from this material.
