Stainless Steel on Brass
Stainless Steel on Brass
(OP)
Hello,
We have a stainless steel rod that goes into a brass hole. We need to investigate the friction that takes place. Could galling be a factor here? I understand that stainless steel has galling problems when used with some metals. The parts are heated up to a temperature of 400-500 degrees F when they are connected also.
Thanks
