I am using two aluminum parts threaded together and have had issues with galling. Lubrication is not a good solution as we expect the customer to be able to take apart and put together these components without the use of lubrication every time. I am planning on making one of the components out of brass but I have heard that because it is also a soft metal, we would probably experience the same problems. Is there a kind of permanent coating that could be used on one of these parts that might prevent it from galling in the future?
