What screws to use for aluminum
"Ignoramus14135" wrote in message .. . I will need to fasten stuff to aluminum using 10-32 screws. That will work in a dry environment (no dripping water) with sometimes high and soemtimes low humidity (garage). Can I use regular shiny galvanized screws for this or would I have galvanic corrosion issues and deal with stuck screws, later? i If you want to really do ti up, get some cad plated screws. The cadmium acts as the anode and protects the aluminum. Stainless screws will be worse than low carbon steel in terms of rotting the aluminum. As posted elswhere, some simple anti-sieze should be sufficient for your application. |
