Hello everyone,

I am looking at buying capsules and I was just wondering....

Some capsules are brass and also copper. Anything to be concerned about between the two materials?
A lot of the times, you see what appears to be steel screws used on the rings and center fed hole.
My question is how likely is it that galvanic corrosion will occur on these capsules?
Maybe its does not happen? Maybe the factories in China are doing something to mitigate the corrosion?
I have noticed that many of the Chinese factories make capsules with steel looking screws on the ring and for the center fed.
Maybe you guys can recommend factories that use brass or copper screws?

What Chinese factories would you say are the best to deal with for high quality 34mm k87 capsules?
 
The corrosion you are worried about almost never happens, not even in the 30 year old capsule, the top Chinese capsule is 797 Audio, ISK's screw is brass, but their capsule is not good as 797 Audio
