The Benefits of Stainless Steel Fasteners

Stainless steel fasteners are made of steel that has been mixed with at least a ten percent compound of chromium, and possibly other metals, so that the steel doesn’t rust or corrode. This makes stainless steel fasteners great for outdoor conditions, where there is  a lot of water or moisture.

Especially if you are building something that supports a substantial amount of weight, such as humans, you will need to use stainless steel fasteners. Steel all by itself can rust until it breaks, and nobody wants that.

When stainless steel fastening systems such as nuts and bolts are employed, they tend to meld together. This is due to the chromium layer on the surface of the stainless steel being exposed to oxygen for a short time before fastening. When the pieces are screwed together, the oxygen is taken out of the equation, solidifying the bond. This process is called “galling”.
