Te-threaded shroud threadbuckle

[Magic Star]

Hi guys, I have de-threaded my shroud threadbuckle and ordered a new one with the U shaped bolt (deck side).
And when consulting a stainless steel bolts torque table I found an advice to use a nickel based anti-seizing compound, supposedly helping to avoid the seizing and de-threading.

Did anyone experienced an anti-seizing compound on the threadbuckles/shrouds and what do you think about using one? Or any lubrication to threads?

It's a phenomenon known as galling. Thread lubricants containing nickel, copper and molybdenum disulphide will help to prevent it. Even oil can help a bit, far better than none, but solid lubricants are preferred.

It depends what the turnbuckle is made of. The issue is with stainless fasteners in stainless threads, which can seize. The correct term is "galling", about which there are several informative...er...threads (if you'll excuse the expression).
(Vyv beat me to it. Inevitable, really, as I thought as I typed that he'd be along in a minute.)

The thurnbuckle is SS double thread, and the problem went (I think, cause of other 2 shrouds getting loose).

Also insure no dirt or sand gets onto the threads while adjusting as this can also cause "galling"

Thanks for replies, will definitely get some anti seizing for shrouds. Cheers
