Stainless steel fasteners salt spray test
2002
I am looking for technical information on how different grades of stainless steel forced entry fasteners compare when salt spray tested against zinc chromate, hot dipped galvanizing and other specialty coatings reported to get over 1000 hours before red rust appears.

Dear Robert,
You can go on Teflon, Xylan or other PTFe resin based fluoropolymer coatings on threades fasteners, it can be withstand up to 4000 hours salt spray test too.
Best luck,
