Weathering steel connection
Weathering steel connection
(OP)
I am designing a security fence made of 3/8” thick weathering steel panels (ASTM A588) attached in direct contact with hot dip galvanized (ASTM A123) columns (ASTM A36). The Architect does not want bolts to be visible from the front side of the panels so I was thinking of installing fully threaded 302HQ stainless steel Nelson studs to the back side of the panels for attachment to the columns. Is this an acceptable connection in terms of corrosion ?

The bolts I'm using here are stainless steel (not galvanized). The bolts are actually threaded studs welded to the weathering steel panels. Do you think the weathering steel should to be insulated from the galvanized steel columns?
