Stainless tends to 'gall' and freeze up. I've had stainless to
stainless fastners freeze when tightening, friction welded into one
piece so strong that the bolt sheared off but the nut never moved!

SS has a huge tendency to gall......I once screwed together, by hand,
a dry SS short nipple (2" pipe) into a fitting. Only a couple turns
and the assembly almost seized up on me!
The pipe thread was a pipe rough, I didn't us any tape, lube or
dope.....I was just doing a dry fit up.
cheers

Stainless on stainless is used VERY frequently........why else would
there be a vast selection of SS bolts & nuts?
galling is a potential problem with SS on SS but the use of proper
plating or lubes will help a lot

........ Oxygen is inseparable from oxidation (rusting).
yup
..... I think it's more likely that moisture was getting into those
hidden areas and staying
there longer.
yup, again
first of all the term "stainless steel" though popular & widely used
is not the "correct" term for the material under discussion
the more correct terminology is "corrosion resistant"
btw all "stainless steels" will rust / corrode under the "right"
conditions
another little know fact, so called "non-magnetic", 18-8 stainless
steels (typically 300 series) can, when "worked" by certain processes,
in fact, exhibit magnetic properties
cheers
