[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 463850, member: 3278"] [size=5]The zinc coating itself acts as a lubricant. When you have a stainless bolt going into a stainless housing or a stainless nut going onto a stainless bolt with any kind of torque you almost always have to have a lubricant. Stainless is soft and will gall easily in these applications. A good grease or a coating like above will protect against this galling. Stainless "cold" works. Hit with a hammer....it hardens. Drill it....it hardens as you drill and will kill ordinary bits. Bend it......hardens. You get the idea. [/size] [/QUOTE]
