Stainless steels galling information?

Stainless steels galling information?

Stainless steels galling information?

(OP)
I have a A479 CL 2 base material that needs a straight dowel pin installed with standard interference. The first thought I had was to get a 304 pin due to corrosion, but I realized galling may be a problem. Is there any information regarding which stainless steels can be 'mixed' in an interference situation or is best to avoid any and all stainless on stainless interference?

Thanks much,

Andy

RE: Stainless steels galling information?

old references from Armco (now AK) and Carpenter have such information, they both make steels with high galling resistance.
The biggest key is hardness, think like a 17-4PH pin.
