No-no- VERY serious. I was in a meeting yesterday and
we were going over the assembly of a variable
pressure-regulating shut off valve for the F-16
aircraft that we are building. The temps in the valve
(made of Inconel)are 1245 Fahrenheit. We had
Mil-A-907 anti seize called out, and my boss redlined
it scribbled in "milk of mag". It was a very tense
meeting, and I thought he was stepping out of
character and messing with us. But he was dead
serious, and I was one of the few in the room that had
not heard of milk of magnesia being used as
anti-seize. Apparently the other stuff has some
grease in it which breaks down at extreme temps and
can coke in the threads. And the stuff is what you
use out of the blue bottle in your pharmacy. It will
also serve double duty if working on your car gives
you an ulcer, I guess!
