Stainless Steel - With the addition of 12% chromium to iron, stainless steel is formed. The chromium protects the iron against most corrosion or red-colored rust; thus the term "stainless" steel. The ability of stainless to form a thin layer of protection on its outside surface, called a "passive film" is its most important characteristic in preventing corrosion.
"18-8" - 300 series stainless steel having approximately 18% chromium and 8% nickel. The term "18-8" is used interchangeably to characterize fasteners made of 302,303,304,305 and other variables of these grades with close chemical compositions. There is little overall difference in corrosion resistance between the 18-8 types. 18-8 has superior corrosion resistance in comparison to 400 series stainless, and is generally non-magnetic.
