Stainless steel fasteners are used when the fastener will be exposed to corrosive environments and atmospheric conditions. Stainless steel fasteners are non-magnetic and offer low electrical and thermal conductivity.

We offer off the shelf stock in 18-8 stainless steel (300 series which includes 302, 302HQ, 303, 304, and 305 grades), 316 stainless steel (typically used in the marine industry because of its greater pitting corrosion), and 410 stainless.
