I'd like to know what the main differences are between inox screws and
silicon bronze screws (in boatbuilding). Vantages and disadvantages. I ask
this question, because it's easy to find inox items here in my town, while
there is no choice of silicon bronze screws

thanks


Silicon bronze screws won't rust - ever.
Their initial strength is lower, usually.
