Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel not specified for lubricating applications.Always select carbon steel explicitly designated for lubricating environments to ensure proper friction characteristics and longevity.
Insufficient pre-treatment or cleaning before fabrication.Thoroughly clean and degrease the sheet to remove any manufacturing residues that could interfere with lubrication or bonding.

Common Applications

  • Bearing races and cages
  • Gear blank stock
  • Sliding wear plates
