[TowerTalk] 306 stainless steel

[jim.thom jim.thom@telus.net]

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  ??
