Benefits of stainless steel fasteners
Stainless steel is different to normal steel in that it does not stain or corrode readily because stainless steel possesses a film of chromium oxide which prevents corrosion by blocking oxygen diffusion to the steel’s surface- this is known as a passive layer. This passive layer is able to self repair if damaged mechanically or chemically and exposed to sufficient oxygen.
304 and 316 stainless steels are largely non-magnetic. They are recyclable which means they are environmentally friendly and have an excellent life expectancy, outlasting almost all other steel alloys. Another characteristic that makes stainless steel fasteners the material of choice for almost any application is the material’s resistance to high and low temperatures.
