We recently came across this white paper on the galling or "cold welding" of stainless steel, an issue that can occur when using threaded fixtures. This should interest any of our customers who use fixtures or attachments with their stainless steel equipment. This paper discusses:

• the definition of galling and how it happens
• suggestions for how to prevent galling
• questions you should ask if you think or know that galling is a problem in your application and corresponding suggestions for how to treat the issue
