Galling of 17-4 Stainless Steel Plate
Galling of 17-4 Stainless Steel Plate
(OP)
I am having a problem with galling on a 17-4 stainless steel plate. The plate moves back and forth and will cycle in each direction once every 15-20 minutes. This plate is sandwiched between two seals(one each side) made from Nitronic 60. Is there a better material combination that I should use? (There is amonia in the atmosphere were this si used so aluminum and bronze are not an option) Is a coating a better route to take?

This might alleviate the galling problem if your metal is too soft for the seals.

Titanium, either grade 2 or grade 4, ion nitrided will also work.
Contact me for details.

We had that problem with our 316 and 17-4 shaft. our solution was, either we used a special thin coating called scotsbrite and there a alot of other trade name like ultra lub, magneplate,
the other solution was to glass beat the surface of the 316 ot 17-4. we use very fine grade of glass which hardenes the surface of the material
If you have any specific question regarding the coating let me know.
good luck
