What is wrong with this?

amx1992:
I've been working on stainless machinery with stainless bolts from oil tankers for the last 4/5 years and I've never actually come across any galling issues.

Stainless bolts in aluminium on the other hand are a nightmare if they've been in a marine environment, but not had problems on motorcycle engine casings unless they're used a lot in bad weather/ winter, or have the earth lead bolted to them

ka-ja:
Dealt with st/st all my working life, at all temperatures in many chemical situations and really extreme heat/cooling cycles can create seizure problems, however, my homemade 316 st/st exhaust studs were fitted in 1985 with no poroblems, the trouble is  with lesser quality of stainless bolts sold that are not 316 stainless.
