Re: Where to buy SS small head header bolts
Fred:
Let me offer a second opinion - a material will react or transfer based upon its relative position in the Periodic Table of Elements. In this case the base material is Fe (steel), it shouldn't matter at all whether it is a basic steel fastner or stainless, they both reside in the same position in the Periodic Table. There may be another compatability issue, but, it shouldn't be galvanic action.
A little example - I have a hydraulic platform on a boat and has a huge surface area of aluminum and stainless under the water. The platform structure is also fastened together with stainless bolts and there is no sign of any galvanic action between the two. This is an extreme example since many boats and/or electric fixtures in or near the water will have reversed polarity (you can't keep away from it), my point is, if aluminum and stainless reacted due to galvanic action it would happen here for sure, but it doesn't.
