Stainless steel fasteners, including 304 and 18-8 varieties, are renowned for corrosion resistance in applications exposed to weather, water, or salt.
316 stainless offers additional protection against chemical exposure due to its molybdenum content.
While 18-8 and 304 stainless steel are often perceived as interchangeable, the distinction becomes critical in chemical-rich settings. It's crucial to note that zinc fasteners, unlike stainless steel, lack inherent corrosion resistance unless they're galvanized.
