Re: What have you tinkered with today?
if its titanium bolts please use some form of coating on the threads as they tend to weld themselves onto anything.

Stainless steel threads also like 'galling' ( welding themselves into the hole ) https://www.essentracomponents.com/e...ss-steel-bolts .

Molybdenum disulphide ( Moly ) is a good one, so molycote, molygrease etc, moly is a fantastic high strength lubricant. I add 2% Liqui-moly to engine oil in bikes with wet clutches ( which is OK according to Liqui-moly instructions ). Copper grease more an anti-corrosion than a lubricant. https://www.westfieldfasteners.co.uk...d_Galling.html

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
do not use a lubricant or copper grease. they are disc bolts so need a thread lock designed for de mounting bolts. Loctite 2259681 Lock ‘n’ Seal is a good one. i personally use a loctite blue stick.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
under normal circumstances yes but we are talking disc bolts and any for of lube is a risk of them coming loose. also people tend to use waaaayyyy tooooo much copper grease on things.

But it would seem the only advantage of stainless steel bolts is the exposed heads should not rust (unless it is a s/s bolt and s/s nut situation ) I know from experience we used to isolate stainless steel fixings from mild steel, as in a framework, by placing neoprene washers between the s/s washers on the fixings and the mild steel to avoid corrosion (dissimilar metals ! ) |
