"Tie wire"? Is that what you brits call "lock wire"? The wire used to
keep fasteners from becoming loose and falling off of an assembly?
If so, you are dumber than dog ****. LOCK WIRE is ALL stainless. HIGH
GRADE STAINLESS. It is a mission critical assembly element in nearly ANY
AND ALL military assemblies where vibration is introduced.
Never been on a Navy ship have you?
Bolted flanges in bilges and other areas exposed to seawater use inconel
wire because the bolts and nuts are also made of inconel.
Dissimilar materials in a bilge environment, where you have a lot of
seawater doesn't work very well. Even if one of them is SS.
