[QUOTE="infrared, post: 1161059, member: 68615"] Not every metal does well, in contact with other metals. The farther apart any two metals are on the Galvanic Series list, the more quickly they will corrode, seize, or fail. Titanium does not like Aluminum at all. Moisture (humidity, cleaners, or rain) will make things worse. Racing parts are not intended to live long without frequent maintenance, or complete replacement. The correct anti-seize compounds for any use will have "intermediate" metals in them, to ease the transition between dis-similar metals. A copper-based anti-seize compound would be good where Titanium contacts Aluminum. See chart (scroll down there): [URL="https://www.corrosion-doctors.org/Definitions/galvanic-series.htm"]Galvanic Series Chart[/URL] Titanium bolts may be stronger initially, but galvanic corrosion can cause totally unexpected failures later.
