I Googled:
"tensile strength of 304 and 316 stainless steel" and the result shows that the
two alloys have very close tensile strengths and yield strengths.
I bought a bunch 316 SS hardware, planning to use them at the PJ4K station on
Bonaire, but with the travel restrictions haven't been able to go and try them
yet. It may take some months or years to see a difference between 304 SS and
316 SS, but the Caribbean is a good test bed.

I'm going to buy some U bolts from mcmaster carr....and they come in 316
marine grade stainless, with mating 316 stainless nylocks. Other than
corrosion resistance, I believe 316 SS is the same strength as 304
SS, but I am not sure about this. These are the insulated type U bolts,
like VE6WZ uses on his 80+40m yagis.
I have never seen 316 SS. Has anybody had experience with 316 SS ??
