Scott: The DC-10 airliner used a lot of titanium hardware in the airframe. The bolts are NAS 6400 series (I have a NAS6404-32 48 in my hand). For the leading edge slat (flight controls) cable pulleys the design called for a NAS 654V1G bolt with an all metal castellated low height dry film lubed nut. I am unaware of any special treatments required for dissimilar metal protection. I do not remember the washer details. Since my aircraft is not to the stage of bolting the WAFs I expect that the WAFs are bolted together with wet primer followed by a coat of paint.
