Corrosive environment and conductive grease?
Hopefully Mexicowonderer will chime in. I don't like bothering people with PM, but if Mex isn't reading now, I'll have to :) I have aluminum bus bars where plated set screws got stuck to the bar r...

Thanks.
There are few different Never Seez- which one?
Boshield T9 I have. It's a not a lubricant but a paraffin wax, it leaves a dry protective coat on aluminum. Prevents seizing, yes.
Have a silicone dielectric grease too.
Yes, this is when they do anodizing coat - cleaning thoroughly and coating immediately. I hope you didn't mean to recommend this with those lubricants?
Btw, it has just crossed my mind that aluminum bar was tinned - that's why it became dark after heating at 500F to loosen the screws. Well, dark tin is still tin.
Yes, I know that SS and Al are more dissimilar than plated steel and Al, I guess it won't do much good.

Aluminum should be shined brilliant then coated almost instantly afterward with protector compound. Once aluminum oxide starts to form it does not stop.
