Thread galling is a terrible problem that occurs very often in certain materials such as stainless steel. Luckily, steps can be taken to deter or eliminate it from occurring altogether.

*Even when using Waxed Nylon Insert Lock Nuts, we still recommend using an MRO Anti-Seize Solution to further deter thread galling during any stainless steel fastener installation.

*Even when using Waxed Nylon Insert Lock Nuts, we still recommend using MRO Anti-Seize Solution 2400 to further deter thread galling during any 316 stainless steel fastener installation.

Consider using anti-seize compounds when assembling stainless steel components to prevent galling. Don't: Mix different grades of stainless steel or use stainless fasteners with carbon steel components, …
