It is to expel those foreign capitals from a trade which their own grows every day more and more insufficient for carrying on, that the Spaniards and Portuguese endeavour every day to straiten more and more the galling bands of their absurd monopoly.

When forcibly disassembled, the welded material may be torn and pitted, an effect known as galling.

This destructive galling can be avoided by the use of dissimilar materials for the parts forced together, for example bronze and stainless steel, or even different types of stainless steels (martensitic against austenitic).

Additionally, threaded joints may be lubricated to prevent galling.

On 18 June a sally was made from the House, and several buildings, from which a galling fire had been maintained, were burnt.
