1006 STEEL WHAT TYPE OF FASTENERS TO USE

1006 STEEL WHAT TYPE OF FASTENERS TO USE

1006 STEEL WHAT TYPE OF FASTENERS TO USE

(OP)
Ok, big block of 1006 type carbon steel machined with various tapped holes.
There are other components being fastened to it with a mix of material types of fasteners.  Some stainless and some Gr5.

I thought with cs you could not use a ss fastener?  Did not see any notes on any of the drawings about using never-seize.
Am I missing something?

What would be the type of fastener to use with 1006?

Thanks

RE: 1006 STEEL WHAT TYPE OF FASTENERS TO USE

You have one those it depends type questions. There normally isn't anything wrong using Never-Seize unless it is strictly prohibited. Grade 5 is vary good starting point.

Could you post a little more details?

What size fasteners?

What is the loading?

Corrosion resistance needed?  

RE: 1006 STEEL WHAT TYPE OF FASTENERS TO USE

(OP)
My fasteners are 1/4-20 x 5/8 lg. qty is 14 screws.
Just mounting a 9'long 1x1 thin wall tube on the top surface.  The components will be inside and no one has ever mentioned an issue with corrosion resistance.

Thanks
