Chemical Resistance Table For Screws in A2 and A4

Classification of corrosion resistance:

  • 0 = resistant (but see L)
  • 1 = slight attack, usable in certain areas
  • 2 = hardly any resistance at all, practically unusable
  • 3 = no resistance
  • L = danger of pitting even in resistant class
