I'd like to know more about galvanic corrosion, if any M-List metallurgists can explain: Why would copper prevent galvanic corrosion between steel and aluminum, and why wouldn't copper cause galvanic corrosion to both?

Regardless of brand however, the higher the copper content the better. Tom Smith & Jane VanWinkle M15/345--Chukar M17/064--Unnamed I use COPPER ANTI-SIEZE lubricant from Permatex. It has worked well so far but I haven't been using it long enough to claim a good test. The stainless screws have been in the aluminum boom for 2 1/2 years - so far no signs of corosion.
