316L SS fasteners vs. 404 SS fasteners
316L SS fasteners vs. 404 SS fasteners
(OP)
Any thoughts on self tapping self drilling SS fasteners when attaching light gage or medium gage sheet to the flanges of structural steel beams? Pilot holes? protection against galling? etc.
Comparison of the two different grades of SS?

For use on structural steel, you probably need self-drilling screws (self-tapping + fluted ends). I suspect 316L fasteners would need to be fully work hardened, plus need pilot holes in the structural steel.
