Default Aluminum timing gear question.

Hello all, decided to change my oil yesterday and found bits of fiber gear teeth in the oil. Pulled the side gear cover and confirmed it was the timing gear.

So I ordered a new aluminum replacement gear. Now I'm wondering, with the aluminum mating to I'm assuming a steel camshaft, do I need to worry about self welding of the different materials? Would anti-seize be a good idea?

I know I shouldn't worry about this being a problem again any time soon. I'm just thinking down the road.

Thanks.
