Why do you use stainless steel screws on a cedar fence?
Stainless steel does not corrode like other metals do. because of the tannic acid in cedar and the fact that it will be outdoors stainless steel will resist corrision much better.
Can you use zinc coated screws with stainless steel flashing in a masonry cavity wall?
Using zinc-coated screws with stainless steel flashing in a masonry cavity wall is not recommended due to the risk of galvanic corrosion. When dissimilar metals, such as zinc and stainless steel, come into contact in the presence of moisture, the less noble metal (zinc) can corrode more rapidly. To ensure longevity and prevent corrosion issues, it's best to use compatible materials, such as stainless steel screws with stainless steel flashing.
Are socket wrenches made out of stainless steel?
Typically, no. Stainless steel is a very weak steel compared to other types. Your cheaper socket wrenches will typically be made out of chrome-vanadium. Higher-end models will use some form of tool steel.
What glue should you use to attach plastic to stainless steel?
Epoxy is the best one.
Which electrode is used to weld stainless steel to carbon steel?
It depends on the type of stainless steel. Stainless steels come in various compositions and are identified by numbers and letters. Electrodes should be chosen that match these. For example when welding 316 stainless use type 316 electrodes. In a lot of situations you can safely use the next higher number. 304 stainless can be welded with 308 electrodes, 308 stainless with 310 electrodes. 309 electrodes are generally used to weld stainless to carbon steel.
Can you weld steel to stainless steel?
Yep, you can weld steel to stainless and you can weld stainless to steel. You can use steel or stainless welding rod in either case but the steel or steel welding rod will of course rust.
Is this stainless steel oven safe?
Yes, this stainless steel oven is safe to use.
How can you fix scratched stainless steel surfaces?

What stainless steel is used in most bladed weapons?
440 Stainless. However, a good weapon will never use stainless steel.
Why do you use stainless steel rather than normal steel?

What is the most common use for stainless steel bolts?
The most common use for stainless steel bolts is to hold parts together. You may find stainless steel bolts in use on such common household features as plumbing, woodworking and more.
What is a stainless steel welding rod?
Easy. A rod or electrode used in welding stainless steel. Or to "clad" a surface with stainless steel. (Nothing more than laying down a layer or layers of stainless.) MIG wire also comes in stainless steel. Their are different types of stainless steel and rods/wire/electrodes to use on them.
Can stainless steel spark when hit by stainless steel?
Yes, stainless steel can spark when hit by stainless steel if there is a high amount of force involved. This can happen because of the friction generated between the two pieces of stainless steel, causing sparks due to the heat produced. It is important to use caution when working with stainless steel to avoid this situation.
I need to find information on the passivation process for stainless steel. Where should I look?
There is an explanation of passivation and the use of passivation at PF Online Passivation of Stainless Steel. Try the guide to passivation of stainless steel at the British Stainless Steel Association. It discusses the use of nitric acid and citric acid treatments.
What filler metal is used to weld 308 stainless steel to 316 stainless steel material?
You can use the 308 or 316.
