Searched, but the thread the last time this question was asked is too old I guess.
Eventual answer was to use a ceramic anti-seize like the links below, never knew there were food grade anti-seize but it was brought up that the high pressure hot gases in the suppressor connectors could blow the anti-seize into the air in tiny droplets, not good for the lungs if it contains nickel or other metal particles.

Any metal can gall, Ti is a bit more prone to it because the material is really tough but not very hard.
Biggest thing is to make sure mating surfaces are clean, and use a lube or anti-seize if you feel things are a bit tight, especially threads. Ti and stainless can absolutely gall each other as well, so use of the dissimilar metals doesn't automatically preclude it. |

I'm concerned not only about galling, but simply wearing out threads. All my cans are DT, so not talking about coarse QD threads. I like something with good lubrication, so I choose grease. A few guns have insufficient shoulder diameter for good retention. Those get Teflon tape.

The grey color coating on our devices in titanium is designed for anti-galling. It seems to prevent the problem from being an issue. Thats logical as that is what it was designed for.

Galling is really only a concern with raw/untreated metals right? I’ve never concerned myself with it. Seems like every part of an AR or a can has a coating or treatment applied. The only threads I grease are the upper receiver threads for the barrel nut. Should I get my affairs in order and prepare for my funeral?

I’ve never had a problem with a muzzle device personally, although I did have a Ti AGB gall once, and some dude that shops at the same SOT as me galled a mount to his barrel. I’ve heard that stainless and Ti have the most risk. Do Rocksett or Loktite increase, or decrease this risk? |

So it should decrease the risk of galling. I don't know the science behind Rocksett, but technically, even water is a lubricant (albeit a poor one). So I would expect Rocksett to also decrease the risk of galling. |
