Will zinc plated bolt on steel plate corrode?
(OP)
Is it O.K. to have a yellow zinc plated bolt with washer and nut, fastened to a very large plain carbon steel floor plate? Would it be better to use a stainless steel bolt? Would a silver colored zinc plating on the bolt be better? Does the yellow zinc and silver colored zinc offer the same degree of corrosion protection?
