The marine environment is aggressively corrosive due to high chloride concentrations in seawater. Standard stainless steel (SS 304) will quickly develop pitting corrosion.
SRG Fasteners manufactures marine-grade hardware specifically utilizing SS 316, Monel 400, and Super Duplex steel. Our components secure offshore oil platforms, subsea pipelines, and commercial vessels worldwide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use SS 304 on a boat?
It is highly discouraged for exterior use or below the waterline. SS 304 will suffer from pitting corrosion in saltwater. Always specify SS 316 or better for marine environments.
