Does anyone know if there are galvanic corrosion issues when stainless steel fasteners are used with Corten (Weathering) structural steel?

Since your anode (weathering steel) would be much larger than your cathode (the SS fasteners), you probably wouldn't have enough to worry about. But there is still a small risk of bimetallic corrosion. Why not use F3125 A325/A490 Type 3 bolts? They're made of weathering steel.
