What is the coefficient of static friction for stainless on aluminum

++++

I am trying to prevent movement during high vibration and want to clamp a stainless steel object with an aluminum object. I need a reliable value (or max/min range) of the coefficient of static friction of stainless (300 series passivated) bearing on aluminum (6061-T6 with iridite).
