Stainless steel contains chromium and nickel. Better grades include molybdenum.

Monel is less corrosive than 316 stainless steel so it is your best solution
since they are readily available for most staplers.

Stainless is Iron and chrome plus some other things depending on which type.

Monel is 70% copper and 30% nickel

Ace hardware, Home depot... pretty much any hardware or marine store...
they are called Monel...

BEWA Go grab a magnet somewhere in the store and TEST THEM.... I
bought a box once from Home depot and someone had returned them AFTER
they swapped them out for the cheap ones...
