Ultimate Handyman | Stainless steel bolts vs steel bolts | Stainless galling @ultimatehandyman | Uploaded September 2018 | Updated October 2024, 6 days ago.
In this video I demonstrate galling, which is an effect that can happen when using stainless steel bolts. Often when undoing or tightening stainless bolts they can gall up and seize together, this often makes stainless steel bolts a bad choice for many applications. Stainless steel bolts also cannot be burnt off using a gas axe, which is another reason to be careful where they are used.
