Zinc Plating Steel to Stop Corrosion with Aluminum
Zinc Plating Steel to Stop Corrosion with Aluminum
(OP)
I have a steel shaft which rotates very slowly in an aluminum housing. I have encountered some "galling" and "lockup" between the parts. Will zinc plating of the steel shaft prevent the "galvanic reaction" between the aluminum and steel, thereby reducing or eliminating my "galling" condition?

if for more advanced machinery, id agree with TVP and use a bearing

A bearing or bushing would be the better solution, though, if you have the budget and desire...
