Correct.  Stainless fasteners, you can buy off the shelf.

We've ( actually a customer project I was involved in) had a PITA of a problem with electropolished stainless item's threaded holes ( welded nuts as well as machined threading ) and the corresponding stainless screws. If ever a screw was binding even slightly during assembly waiting a day or two and trying to remove them would be "unsuccesfull".
( torque the head off before it would move in the threads.)

Solution was coating the screws in a special process. ( don't have the
name at hand but can inquire.)
