Hello all!
Is there any specific criteria (temperature, material, etc.) to use coated carbon steel bolts instead of alloy steel bolts in stainless steel piping or machine anchoring?

Coatings are a matter of preference, with some using fluoropolymer coated fasteners exclusively, while others use black oxide or zinc plated fasteners, depending on external corrosion conditions.
For bolting stainless equipment to the structure, construction bolts are typically used, and these are hot dip galvanized.
