Crimping Stainless Steel
Crimping Stainless Steel
(OP)
I am contemplating a fixture that uses an aluminum strip to crimp a stainless steel wire. Would there be an issue with using two different metals?

Um, yeah. Meaning it's going to deform if you try to crimp/bend stainless wire with it. If that is what you intend, fine, but then you are probably doing more crimping of the aluminum? I think there is some misunderstanding between what you wrote and what we-all are reading here. A sketch or picture could help a lot.

Mixing aluminium and stainless together could generate galvanic corrosion if any electrolyte is present between the two materials.

What is the material and material condition being crimped? And also, what is the nature of the corrosive environment?
