i work at a cheese manufacture facility and we have miles of stainless pipes and thousands of stainless bolts, been there for 30+ years and i can tell you that you do not use it for it's strength properties. you use stainless because it is easy to clean and maintain a sanitary environment.
have seen many a bolt striped out over the years that if it was not stainless would not have, stainless is softer but shiny and easy to maintain, rust wise
