303 Stainlees steel in sea water: best plating
303 Stainlees steel in sea water: best plating
(OP)
I'm currently using a 303 Stainless Steel pin on a mechanical sensor that is submerged in sea water. The 303 is a free cutting grade that has shown signs of significant rusting over time in the salt water (5-6 months). I can get this same pin off the shelf with several different finishes. Is their a reference on the internet for how well different finishes hold up in sea water? The choices are limited to Zinc, Cadmium, Zinc Chromate or Cadmium Chromate. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

You may want to try these alloys as the replacement for 303.
