|   Can I use locktite on ti bolts...? | dudelove
Jul 10, 2003 7:50 AM | | I am worried about gauling but also about loosening bolts. Does locktite also prevent gauling problems or should I stick strictly with ti prep (or other) for ti parts and check the tightness more often? Thanks. |

Speaking of galling, ALWAYS USE SOME FORM OF THREAD LUBRICANT WITH TITANIUM FASTENERS!!! This can be in the form of an anti-seize compound, a moly based grease, or even a thread-locking compound. Each of these substances will form a thin boundary preventing metal-to-metal contact. This is super important when a titanium bolt is threaded into magnesium, aluminum, or titanium. If you fail to follow this advice, you may find yourself quite literally screwed! |
