Choose Type 316 stainless-steel nails when using stainless-steel connectors.
Stainless Steel: No discussion of corrosion resistance would be complete without mention of stainless steel screws. Although all products corrode sooner or later, stainless steel continues to provide excellent protection. Since the carbon content of stainless is quite low, oxidation (rusting) is also quite low. However, since the carbon content is low, the steel cannot be heart treated to adequate levels. As a result the screws are soft and break easily when used in wood applications where high levels of torque strength are required. Pre-drilling all screw holes and using larger gauges of screws can compensate for this problem.
The Nickel used in manufacturing Stainless Steel make them non-magnetic and will not hold to a magnetic bit.
