This is an abrasive saw. The hardware for the clamps is SS bolts and plain carbon t-nuts. The Ni based vs Cu based comment I made was referring to anti-seize compounds. I've only had experience with Cu based and wasn't sure if the Ni based stuff was preferred or required in SS applications
Thanks. I'll look into the silicon bronze and anti-seize. Any thoughts on Cu based versus Ni based? This is a saw for a mettallurgy lab. Maintaining the one we have rather than spending money on something else. Thanks again.
We have a cut-off saw that has SS socket bolts with carbon steel t-nuts for the clamps and hold downs. The nuts are seizing due to the coolant. We replaced the bolts and nuts and added corrosion inhibitors to the coolant but my questions are, should we switch to SS nuts or will galling be a...
