Galling—the breakdown of a threaded part and its mate during operation—is not always a problem for the designer until after production or during operation. But when it occurs, it is a costly problem.

One of the most common problems that occur when tightening fasteners is 'galling'. While galled fasteners will certainly not be loose, the related joint won't be properly tensioned and can fail from ...

Abstract: Galling is one of the most familiar failure forms for tubing and casing connections. It has been regarded as a key problem by metallurgy and petroleum systems all over the world. The theory ...

Stainless steel fasteners are used in many applications where zero foreign object debris (FOD) is essential. Such applications include the food industry, clean rooms, electronics, aerospace, ...

Galling is a form of wear that is caused by metal surfaces in gliding contact with one other, such as the many bolts and fasteners holding rotor blades together in wind turbines. With potentially ...
