That's embedment. > > that's just waffle terminology. It is incorrect terminology. Embedment is said to smooth surfaces and so result in less adhesion and loss of bolt tension. Embedment "can lead directly to loosening of a fastener joint and subsequent fatigue failure." (Wikipedia) > real deal is asperity welding, Also known as galling. Agreed. Newbies should understand that the pitch of the pulley bolt is even smaller than what is found on even fine thread bolts. This increases the tendency towards galling. IMO the conditions under which the bolt must operate (high thermal and load variation) promote galling even further. |

Say, isn't this something like the discussion we had the last time? :-)
