That is correct. The anti seize or lube reduces the friction coefficient when making up the bolt, or rather there is much less resistance when threading the bolt/screw in and torquing up. There are all manner of charts and tables for calculating new equivalent torque values depending on the type coating you are using. Basically take care not to over tighten or over torque the bolts when using coatings and just err on the side of caution.
Dave sorry about all this chat on your thread ......... I rang the tech dpt last year I think it was and they were very helpful regarding Ti into alloy saying complete coverage of the fastener by doing it up undoing and retighten. LOCTITE 243 for critical and all others anti-seize.
No worries.... I’ve had zero issues with any Ti bolts I have installed over the years, including ones to critical areas as long as they are torqued to the correct setting. I have however had to remove ones that have been installed dry and ones that have been installed with low strength loctite that have snapped on removal. For fasteners in general use, we recommend an anti-seize or a copper based lubricant be applied to the threads in order to prevent galling, the exception being bleed nipples and banjo bolts which should be fitted dry. For bolts in safety critical areas, we would recommend a medium strength threadlock. If you are in any doubt as to the suitability or torque settings of our products for your specific application.
Not quite. The torque value, I’d refer to it as a setting rather than a value, is a constant. However the tensioning dynamics of a bolt will vary with lubricant.
