Bad alloy?
I’ve had a similar problem with Aristo rail clips, those that are screwed on. I removed them and used Split-Jaw clamps on both sides. Problem was solved. Be sure the bottom and sides of the rails are clean and bright before attaching the clamps.

No, alchemy is an entirely different kettle of fish.
Ah, oh, huh?

Well, its just a guess on my part.
Brass is a generic term for an alloy (usually containing copper and tin). But depending on the mix of those 2 metals, and/or whatever other metals used, different brasses could have different properties. Since you say its seams to always be near the joint with the Aristo track, that would be a likely scenario.

Uh huh. So that um, ah, well, makes me smarter than the average bear. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)
