Stainless Steel Fasteners
Stainless Steel Fasteners
(OP)
Is it O.K. to use #10 stn stl screws with stn stl nuts(not locknuts)? Would there be a problem with galling? Or would that just occur if the nut was a locknut?
Also, what is the rule regarding the mating of screws and nuts with different thread classes (class 2 vs. class 3)? I seem to remember that it works one way, but not the other.

What about the question about mating fasteners of different thread class. Any thoughts regarding that?
RE: Stainless Steel Fasteners
Don't let the galling problem dissuade you since the a light application of an anti-seize is extremely effective with fasteners in your size.
RE: Stainless Steel Fasteners
The one time you may get an issue is if the fasteners are plated. Undersome circumstances the thread class wont apply after treatment.
KENAT, probably the least qualified checker you'll ever meet...

"line fit at max tolerances" sorry
As to Galling, the instances I've been involved with it has been on larger threads but I'm not sure it's limited to only those cases.
Anti seize wil probably be adequate, what environment/situation?

Buy some and try them.
Degreasing can aggrevate the problem.
The right antiseize can help a lot, but it can be a pain to apply correctly and discreetly.
