• Definition Galling occurs when metal surfaces
  rub under pressure, causing deformation and
  sticking.
• Impact Leads to reduced efficiency, surface
  damage, and failure of fasteners.
• Prevention Importance Critical for optimizing
  durability and performance of fasteners.

3
Use Lubricants to Reduce Friction

• Apply copper anti-seize compounds to threads.
• Reduces friction and prevents sticking during
  installation.
• Essential to minimize surface damage under
  pressure.

4
Select the Right Stainless Steel Grade

• Prefer 316 or duplex stainless steel over 304 for
  lower friction.
• Combine bolts and nuts of different grades to
  reduce sticking.
• Choose grades based on application needs.
