 Why use stainless steel nails?
Stainless steel has a unique resistance to corrosion and this is what sets stainless apart from other steel.

The reason stainless steel produces good corrosion resistance is due to the "passivity".  The steel contains enough chromium when exposed to oxygen it immediately acquires a protective invisible film (chromium oxide CrO2 ) Under normal conditions this film affords sufficient protection in most applications.

Both grades 304 and 316 have excellent resistance to corrosion, however 316 is more suitable for severe coastal locations and geothermal areas. Due to the addition of slight more nickle than type 304 and 2-3% molybdeneum.

Corrosion of stainless steel nails can sometimes be initiated by the impact on nail heads with a steel hammer.  This surface damage is due to the hammer and possible iron contamination on the surface of the nail head.

Nail heads should be protected from wind-blown sea salt and washed regularly by rain or maintained in such a way as to remove the deposited salt chlorides.

316 stainless is recommended over 304 due to its superior resistance to corrosion.
