That web link is most interesting. In light of last year's discussions about replacing stays, the comments about 304 and 316 are most interesting. No one in my research last year even suggested that combining parts, some being 304 and others being 316 stainless would cause a problem. However it just made sense to me as a crotchety, critical, tube turnip. For example, combining a 304 clevis pin with a 316 shackle can cause corrosion. It also gives some substance against those that claim that SS only crystalizes, but seldom corrodes. So what are most SS screws/bolts made out of?
