As much as many of you like to save weight with Titanium, you have to be careful with the galvanic corrosion of Titanium.

Titanium parts and fasteners should be primed if they are attached to aluminum or alloy steel parts. This will prevent the Titanium from galvanically corroding from their contact to aluminum or alloy steels. The same applies to Stainless Steel.

A good practice is to touch up any contact areas with Zinc Chromate primer.
The primer I recommend is made by Moeller Marine products.
