Galling of stainless screws and pem nuts
Galling of stainless screws and pem nuts
(OP)
I'm looking for ideas on what can be done to prevent galling of these components...
Both are class 2 8-32 threads. The PEMs are SP type...material for both is 300 series stainless and non-CRS is not an option at this point.
Problems occur with both tightening with a screwdriver by hand and electric driver.
I've tried anti-seizing compound and also graphite with limited success. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.
