Stainless steel bolts in Isophase

[vm3118]

Why do they use stainless steel bolts on Isophase bushings and straps? is it to reduce heating?

SS is used for it's strength, and it's heating properties, in respect to cooper. If you have a magnet try it on any stainless, some you will find to be magnetic some will not. The elongation on average of "copper" is 40% the elongation of SS is from 55% down to 2%. So over all one would use something that has better properties than that of the piece ones attaching. A bolt is bonding the metal together, the bond has to maintain itself and preform as neutral an item as is allowed, desired or engineered to. So no change of it's properties verses what it's applied to! Here is an article that gives broad overview of SS. Most all compound metals are like a home made soup, it just depends on what you want is what your going to put in to it.
