Re: Proofing against corrosion with threads?

[mr-asa]

quote Archangel:

Wasn’t there some discussion in an earlier thread — possibly on the lost boards — that suggested that copper or nickel anti-seize was a no-no, especially for salt-water motors, as these created a galvanic reaction that actually exacerbated the corrosion?

Actually, it came up on another of my threads, not sure if that is the thread you’re talking about though
Anti-sieze does generally contain another type of metal which can promote corrosion, however I think that due to the nature of how it’s made it overcomes that.
I am sure I can find an engineering paper on it somewhere, I’ve got a NASA written one about thread galling somewhere in my email sent to me by a friend. A lot of the info is distilled in this

Galling isn’t necessarily the issue here, but I’m sure some of the concerns overlap.
