This guy recommends you purchase from a country that is hot and dry, like Australia. Low rust!

Also, that they avoided graphite and used hex boron nitride instead.

—————————————————————————————————-

Graphite draws water vapor from the atmosphere and incites corrosion when used around aluminum. Hexagonal Boron Nitride, the “white graphite” has no affinity for moisture, does not promote corrosion.

Graphite use is banned around aluminum aircraft. HBN film deposition is suitable for use in vacuum for lubrication and limiting vacuum welding in aerospace applications.
