We have to use stainless coated fasteners at work into our aluminium castings because of this. Done a fair amount of work on it in the past . Have some great pics of aluminium being eaten away by it!
Thanks. Does this also apply so vigorously to anodised aluminium, with well lubed Ti fasteners?
Just wondering whether I’ll be immediately deaded unless I swap all my stem bolts...
Titanium is fine as far as corrosion goes, but see my 94 earlier posts about why swapping stock steel fasteners for Ti is potentially dangerous.
