Anti Seize & Thread Galling Prevention Coatings for Metal

Galling or cold welding is a form of wear caused by sliding surfaces seizing together and is a common problem with threaded fasteners that occurs when the surfaces of male and female threads are under a great deal of pressure. As fasteners are being tightened they are prone to galling, metal high points of the threads contact each other which increases friction and adhesion between the two and can generate enough heat to fuse and seize nuts and bolts together. If the fasteners continue to be tightened after galling has started it may strip the threads which can prevent the removal of the fastener. Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) prevents galling and seizing from occurring by reducing friction between fasteners which also makes them easier to assemble and disassemble. Galling and Seizing is also common in bearings & pistons in engines, hydraulic cylinders and motors and Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) excels at preventing it in these applications as well due to its high operating temperature of 1,200°F and compatibility with lubricants, fuels, and hydraulic fluids.
