Applications
We recommend stainless steel for all cedar
wood, ACQ lumber, decks and all waterfront applications as well as for use in materials
and roofing systems with
a life expectancy of 30 years or more. All exterior projects
should include stainless steel for maximum protection against the elements.
Aluminum and
low-grade steel corrodes quickly in the presence of copper because
of the difference in electro-chemical potential.
Where Do I
use Stainless Steel in place of Hot-Dipped Galvanized?
For ACQ
treated lumber in the presence of electrolytes, such as saltwater,
copper reacts quickly with any metal close to it on the
galvanic series of metals and alloys, causing corrosion. Since
304 grade stainless steel is closer to copper in the
electro-motive series, corrosion is virtually nonexistent. For
maximum long term corrosion protection, stainless steel is the
only way to go!
AISI 304 GRADE STAINLESS STEEL
Stainless steel is a metal alloy that in and of itself is
corrosion resistant without the addition of any chemical coatings.
Stainless steel provides superior protection to even double hot-dipped galvanized and
will sustain a longer life than any of the above-mentioned
fasteners. Stainless steel will not bleed into cedar or redwood.
Stainless steel meets
specifications for ACQ and other pressure treated lumber. All
Best Materials, Spotnails, Steelhead and Swan brand stainless steel fasteners meet or
exceed the ANSI 304 grade for stainless standards. Laboratory chemical analysis
on the stainless steel guarantees its consistent composition.
