Ti Gr. 5 fastener with chersterton 785 and loctite
(OP)
Hey,
I have a two procedures in front of me where one says that I should use chesterton 785 on the threads of a Ti fastener and some loctite on the fastener head, the other says the opposite..
Should I use chersterton 785 on the threads to minimize the risk of galling? Between, the fastener and nut are of the same material.
thanks!

Chesterton 785 is a lubricant to provent galling, so its use on threads makes most sense.
