Galling resistance

Date 08-18-2003 19:59

Does anyone know of a resource shows galling resistance of materials in various combinations, or something that would have a galling index to help determine which combinations would be good, better, best or worst (for bolting or shrink fit applications)?

any help would be appreciated.

THanks

Have you looked in the "Machinery's Handbook"? I don't know if that info is in there but I would look there first.
