A very simple tech question for the metalologists.
I have been using stainless fittings on my bikes and the benefits are mainfold. Oh the joy of taking apart items that look great and haven't welded themselves up with rust. Best of all you can source fixings from companies like ScrewFix for pocket change.
The question I need answering is; What is the difference or benefits of A2 against A4 stainless steel?
I imagine it has much to do with the composition of the alloy, percentage of chromium present, etc.
For my purposes it needs to be able to withstand salted roads, take cold temperatures and look pretty.
