Is such a thing suitable for ally on ally? You'd think you'd want something different. Like copper. But I don't want to use that, not use anything really that has any particulate suspended in something. Rather just a grease suited to such a thing, if it exists.ali slip grease

I considered purple loctite.
Interflon HT1200Any recommendations for a product to put on threads in aluminium? This would be for aluminium to aluminium threading. So for simplicity just say an aluminium bolt in an aluminium threaded hole.
It's not corrosion that's the problem here it's galling which I think is quite a big problem for ally on ally. Under the pressure in a thread they can "stick" together.Dissimilar metals are what cause corrosion. It is in basic terms a battery as soon as there is any moisture present.

Yep. Stainless is the absolute worst for galling, it can be a nightmare.galling is wear caused by friction between two sliding surfaces ,, galvanic corrosion is a totally separate topic , or thats my understanding of the question

Unfortunately it's on Bosch abs pumps. So not much I can doAluminium threads into aluminium isn't a great idea. Can't you use something like brass for the other thread?
Will look into this. Thanks. I also have to be careful because any squeeze out will go directly into the pump where this is EDPM o rings so many things aren't compatible with that. Yeah I knew it had galled as soon as it tightened up and was looseish for 1/4 a turn back and forth but beyond that was hard stuck. It required a very big breaker bar to get out so I could take the parts inside out and swap them over to another donor body (which innards were scrap, but housing was good).When I worked on stainless industrial centrifuges, we scrubbed the threads with molybdenum bisulphate paste then coated them with a mix of molybisulphate and grease. You know it's galling when it starts to tighten so you try undoing it to start again and it tightens up even more. Horrible.
