I know 316 stainless is supposed to be the best in terms of corrosion
resistance, however I've been unsuccessful in finding #8x1" oval head A
point screws in 316 stainless. I have been successful in finding them grade
18-8 stainless. The problem is that I haven't found anyone yet who can tell
me the difference between these two alloys and if 18-8 will provide adequate
corrosion resistance when used in an exterior marine application. Can anyone
tell me the differences and if 18-8 is not the right material does anyone
know a source for #8x1" oval head A point screws in 316 stainless. I need a
18-8 is very similar to 304 stainless.
Use only 316 on deck. In salt spray conditions 304 will bleed.
