Q: I want to use A286 fasteners with our product (a force sensor). Will A286 gall with 6Al4V titanium or 15-5 stainless steel or 304 SS helicoils without lubrication. The customer will not allow lubricants. Thank you
A: The biggest factor to galling is using similar material on each other. The fact that you are using dissimilar materials that will greatly reduce the chances of galling. Another thing you could do is silver plate the A286 fasteners. The silver plating will act as an anti-galling agent and avoid any kind of lubricant.
