Question: What is screw/nut galling and how can it be avoided?

Answer:  Galling occurs when metals slide against each other under high pressure.  As friction causes the temperature of the metals to increase, molecular bonding increases, eventually resulting in gross damage or seizing.  Higher speeds and surface pressures,  high surface finishes, poor lubrication, and similar material hardness all increase the likelihood for galling to occur.  Galling can be avoided by good [...]

Question: Is there a standard for multiple-start ACME screws as there is for single-start ACMES?
