All of the replies below got back to David Paddock, who was
overwhelmed with the expertise and very appriciative. This was an
interesting experiment in that a number of Madefast participants
quickly provided useful information.  The replies have been slightly
edited for brevity for publication here, as most were not sent to the
whole Madefast list.

Can anyone answer this question? Perhaps this is another way
Madefast might be useful to US industry - a mailing list of
knowledgeable people.

Do you have information and/or contacts with people who can tell me
what materials I can use with Ti 6Al-4V to avoid galling.  I have a
threaded plug made of titanium that I must mount into a chunk of 
metal.  I am trying to decide what material to make the chunk out of.

I have a guy who uses Stainless Bolts into Titanium with a dry film lube (ie
Molybdenum disulfide).  Would that be ok?

Titanium is subject to galling (adhesive wear).
The most common treatments to minimize this problem involve anodically
coating the titanium and applying a dry film lubricant.  The anodic
coating provides a hard surface layer and the pores in the coating
serves as a reservoir to retain the additional lubricant film.  An
alternative treatment is to use a conversion coating plus lubricant when
it is important to retain some electrical conductivity at the interface.
 
 
Specific processes for consideration are:
 
  "Anodize per AMS 2488, Type 2", or "Conversion Coat per AMS 2486",
      followed by
  "Dry film lubricate per AMS 3084"
                       or MIL-L-81329, MIL-L-46010, or MIL-L-23398 (depending
                           on application).
 
Additional proprietary processes are available from several Chemical
Finishing subcontractors, including General Magnaplate (Arlington, TX).

Charles,

I don't know about Ti galling - Or who to ask - Except that there's a
newsgroup called sci.engr.manufacturing where people ask that kind of
question and usually get answers.

Charles,

Have you had any replies to this?  Are you gathering them and passing them
on to David Paddock?

I am not a metals guy but I passed the question on to a collegue at
Concurrent Technologies Corp, Ken Meltsner, who is.  Here is a piece of his
reply:

>I believe Ti likes to gall when rubbed -- it has to do with the
>surface structure after wear.  You can either modify the titanium
>(nitride or other coating) or the other piece.

Ken goes on to talk about some proprietary approaches to doing this.  He is
willing to field this is if there is interest.
