Title: Anti-Seize for Fastening Stainless to Aluminum
Post by: Jim Price on April 01, 2005, 06:09:25 AM
This popped up today from Sailors Solution.  I am not endorsing (I have  used Lanocote in the past) but thought it might be another alternative.  :thumb:

Title: Anti-Seize for Fastening Stainless to Aluminum

Good idea.  Our rigger recommended we use it for the four aluminum allen head set screws that go into the titanium base of our ProFurl system.

These products, Tef Gel and Lanacote, are less of an "anti-seize" than a material the keeps the different metals from actually touching each other and causing galvanic corrosion between the metals that are different.  I think of "anti-seize" as something that's used on the same metals, with no possibility of galvanic corrosion, to assure that they can come apart when you eventually want them to, like in hot applications of connectors on engines, for instance.

Thanks also for the source, Tef Gel is sometimes hard to find locally, even here.
