Fastener material for indoor pools
(OP)
I'm looking at installing a fixture overhead in an indoor swimming pool facility. I am aware of stress corrossion cracking and found some articles from various sources stating 254 SMO is the best material for this specific application. Does anyone know how 254 SMO would compare to say, AL6XN? I think they are pretty similiar but all the articles I've read mention 254 SMO as the best. I'd like to stay away from supplier claims or sales pitches so I've been sticking to articles from steel institutes and structural engineers. Thanks in advance for your help!

These superaustenitic alloys may be appropriate for your application, or they may be more performance and cost than you need.
Bulten is a very capable supplier of high-performance stainless fasteners.

I have seen fiberglass bolts used to keep a unit located as long as the full load is supported by structural members. In other words nothing could fall if they failed.

Superduplex stainless steels like Zeron 100, or S32750 have also been used successfully if added chloride resistance compared to 2205 is desired. Attachment shows some examples of superduplex use.
