Assuming that you're interested in the Bi-metallic corrosion potential, this should be okay.

Thanks... I was thinking that the relative size of the fastener would be working correctly... outside one of the offices I worked for, they has SS railings with galvanised anchorage... and there was noticeable corrosion.

Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Feel any better?

I should have mentioned that the condition is fully exposed to the elements... summer and winter... climate is somewhat dry, but not arrid.

I've seen a large stainless steel nut fitted to a galvanised steel anchor bolt, installed near the ocean. The bolt threads were fairly corroded.

Yes the chloride salt would help a lot.
