When choosing stainless steel fasteners, key features to consider include the grade (304 for general use or 316 for enhanced corrosion resistance in harsh environments). Ensure the fastener's tensile strength and hardness meet your application’s requirements. The thread type and size should match precisely. Additionally, consider the finish or coating for added protection against wear and corrosion. Finally, assess the fastener's compatibility with the environment to ensure long-term durability and performance in specific conditions.
