LJ Stars Clamp Galling White Paper

This whitepaper will cover the following, alongside causes of galling and solutions to keeping your processes operational.

Galling is a type of fused wear that can cause clamps to become bound together and halt operations in the pharmaceutical industry.
Stainless steel typically used in these applications is prone to galling due to friction during installation, causing protective layers on the metal surface to wear away.
Strategies such as using fastener lubrication or slowing down installation speeds help reduce the risk of galling but may not be options in strict environments like those found within pharma plants.
LJ Star's Anti-galling Clamp uses Nitronic 60 (Alloy 218), which has excellent resistance against galling even when operating under high temperatures or with high-impact operations while generating less particulate than typical stainless steel clamps.
