Galling is a form of abrasive wear (chafing) that has the potential to occur when any two metals rub together with poor lubrication. When two metals rub against each other they begin to wear down. As heat (friction) and pressure increase, the rubbing surfaces begin to stick and break each other down (tear) on the atomic level.

May 12, 2015 · Thread Galling occurs during fastener tightening and installation. When pressure builds between the contacting surfaces of the male and female threads, the protective oxides or coatings begin to shear, causing high points, or imperfections in the raw material to become locked together.

Mar 9, 2017 · Thread galling, or fastener seizing (locking nuts and broken bolts) is a common problem with when working with stainless steel and other soft metals. We discuss thread galling in-depth in previous posts as well as on our Fasteners 101 Page. We are excited to offer a new solution to this common problem: Waxed Nylon Lock Nuts.

Treated with wax to act as an on board anti-seize to prevent thread galling; The prewaxed nut saves you from having to apply anti-seize to every nut; Perfect for assembly lines, factories, or anyone who wants to save time and money; Also referred to as Waxed Nylon Lock Nuts, Nyloc Nuts, Polymer-Insert Lock Nuts, or Elastic Stop Nuts

Use lubricants for components requiring regular adjustment or disassembly, and where metal-to-metal galling is a concern. Choose threadlockers for fasteners that need to remain secure through vibration and normal operation. Never use both unless specifically indicated by maintenance procedures. How do I remove threadlocker during maintenance?

This anti-seize provides excellent chemical resistance. Solution 2600 can help reduce friction between two metal contact points for stainless steel and other alloys. Thus eliminating the galling/seizing or locking up effect most commonly seen with stainless steel fasteners that are under extreme pressure.

MRO Anti seize solution 2000 can help reduce friction between two metal contact points for stainless steel and other alloys. Thus eliminating the galling/seizing or locking up effect most commonly seen with stainless steel fasteners that are under extreme pressure.
