Answer 2

In metallurgy, stainless steel (inox) is defined as a ferrous alloy with a minimum of 10% chromium content. The name originates from the fact that stainless steel does not stain, corrode or rust as easily as ordinary steel. For oxidation resistance min chromium content should be 13%. As far as strength is concerned both have almost identical properties mild steel (A36) tensile value about 36,000 psi while 316 stainless steel tensile value is about 42,000 psi at normal temp. In temp higher then 300 deg. F both loose strength.

RE: a thank you to scrub a burnt stainless-steel pan? My daughter cooked Macaroni and cheese the day until eventually now immediately. when I have been given residing house it replaced into sitting on a burner set on low. the backside of the pan replaced into black.

Answer 4

So your deciding what grade fastner to purchase. They are similar in strength. If you are using it in a high temp area use the stainless otherwise use the grade 5. The zinc coating does not add any strength. It is strictly cosmetic.

Answer 5

Stainless steel is ALWAYS a stronger material. The stainless will also have better corrosion resistance in most applications.

Answer 6

Under most circumstances, it would make no difference if they were the same length and same gauge. However, if you are building something with dipped galvinized nails, you have to take into consideration that the zinc might chip off when you hammer it. neither should rust.
