You just need to use anti-seize on the threads to prevent galling (not spalling) and being unable to tighten or loosen them. I experienced that when mounting a sonar transmitter on a boat. It locked up just prior to getting tight enough. I wound up snapping it off and getting a new screw and nut. I used anti-seize the second time.
Galvanized steel or zinc plated fasteners don't have that issue, because zinc is a softer metal and acts as a lubricant of sorts.
