Hi Phil,
If you use an anti-corrosive, conducting grease on the screw and the lug of the wire
you are grounding, the intermetallic corrosion should be zero. Under your bench
there shouldn't be any fluids that could produce an electrolyte, so putting different
metals together should have no effect. The main grounding contact is between the
lug and the copper strap, anyway.

Philip asked:
QUESTION: Are "Copper-nickel" commonly available screws, or would I perhaps
do as well with "stainless steel" which is "probably" available at my local
ACE Hardware store?
