Stainless Steel Screws

Common stainless steel fastener types include bolts, screws, nuts, studs, wingnuts, flat washers, and lock washers. Stainless steel's self-healing corrosion resistance provides an affordable and lower-maintenance alternative to treated or plated fasteners made from other materials. 

Self-tapping screws, machine screws, nuts, and washers are also popular types of hardware fasteners for joining metal sheet components. However, for high-strength applications, rivets remain an ideal choice due to their superior strength over single-use fasteners such as self-tapping screws or bolts.
