Fastener manufacturers are often consulted on the correct materials to be used on the envelope of a specific project, but what's the right answer? As always there is seldom a single answer, it requires a project specific response, so it's important the right advice is sought. First what are the main material options: 🔩 Carbon Steel - its relatively inexpensive and easy to machine so is a popular choice, however it's relative low resistance to corrosion means it should be carefully considered in external environments. 👍 Stainless Steel A2/ 304 - is from the austenitic family, it has a good corrosion resistance due to it's self healing, 'stain free' composition. This is why it is typically used in most projects where warranties are required. However it cannot be heat treated to increase its hardness in the same way carbon steel can and comes with a higher price. 😀 Stainless Steel A4/ 316 - is from the austenitic family again and has a similar composition to that of A2 however with a key difference, it contains molybdenum. This resists attack by chlorides & sulphers making it ideal for marine and industrial environments. The next consideration is the project, details such as proximity to the coast/ tidal estuaries or especially industrial environments internal or external will have an impact and are key to choosing the right fastener. The project has a corrosivity category (some larger projects can have varied corrosion zones) outlined in BS EN ISO 12944-2, expressed in C1, very low/ internal to C5, which is very high, split into industrial and marine. It's this category that assists in understanding the right fastener material related to its working life. ⁉ Ultimately the material of the fastener is fundamental, for example an A2 fastener used in a marine environment won't have the same resistance to corrosion from chlorides as an A4 due to the lack of molybdenum.

With steel framing, the savings don’t just come from building costs alone, it goes a lot deeper. A considerable amount of these savings can be found above and beyond the steel structure.
