Could anyone offer an explanation for why the bond strength of an adhesive would be significantly less to 301 SS then to 304 SS, with all other factors equal?

I cannot provide an explanation that seems plausible. 301 in the same product form as 304 will have more martensite, and hence higher strength, but I cannot imagine that this signficantly affects adhesive bonding strength.
