aluminum-steel bolted connection

[yjung]

what kind of washers, base plate, anchor bolts and so on for the Aluminum structure?
Can we use steel anchor bolts, plate, washers etc with aluminum structure?

special paint?

My guess is that the steel will eat through the aluminum--at what rate I have no idea. Maybe someone else will know...

This is a well known problem. There are isolator washers and sleeves for connecting aluminium using steel bolts.
