The "18-8" designation refers to its composition: approximately 18% chromium and 8% nickel. This alloy provides excellent corrosion resistance in most atmospheric, marine, and mild chemical environments. Important distinctions for stainless fastener selection: 18-8 stainless is non-magnetic — useful in electrical and electronic applications where magnetic interference is a concern Stainless steel can gall (seize) during installation if the threads run dry; always apply anti-seize lubricant when threading stainless fasteners together For saltwater immersion or chloride-heavy environments, Grade 316 stainless (with molybdenum) offers better resistance than 18-8 Questions about material selection for your application?
