Problems with Stainless Steel 304 screws to fix Stainless Steel 316 brackets?
Wiki User
∙ 15y ago
Generally if 316 has been specified for the application especially used in Marine and Industrial applications 316 (A4) fasteners should be used. Otherwise corrosion could be a possibility of the fasteners and this localised corrosion will contaminate the brackets and cause them to initially stain then corrode.
