Stainless Bolts w/Galv Steel
Stainless Bolts w/Galv Steel
(OP)
I have an SSINA Designer Handbook that suggests "the corrosion of the base metal may be markedly increased by the fastener material" when using stainless steel bolts with galvanized steel. Anybody have any experience with this?

My boss doesn't seem to think this is much of a problem. I have already cited the SSINA Designer Handbook; Would you know of any other references I can use to support my position? These are for immersed applications in sewage treatment tanks.

If there is a way of obtaining a picture, that may be useful; Thanks!
Also, I would also be interested in how long these were in service.
