    NXOpen: creating new file from a model template using wrapper functions

    Aluminium alloy assembly with carbon steel fasteners

    Hello everyone! If aluminium alloy assembly is held together with carbon steel fasteners (screws, washers, sometimes nuts as well) in the industrial environment, will there be an issue with contact corrosion? Shall we galvanize steel fasteners? If so, what is the recommended coating? Will zync...
