Not all sailors know this: there are different grades of stainless steel and they offer different takes on the balance between structural strength and corrosion resistance. Duplex is a class of stainless steel, new to Harken’s pad-eye line-up. It offers increased amounts of chromium in the alloy for enhanced corrosion resistance at very high relative strengths. All sailors should know this: Stainless does not mean maintenance free. Make sure to inspect structural stainless deck hardware regularly and clean and restore the finish as needed.
