We have used them for training where systems are assembled and disassembled several times.  Even with anti-sieze still would have to hack a few fasteners off every time.  With Dura-Con no more problem.  I also believe  that they are also cheaper than quality Stainless  ( not all stainless fasteners are created equal!) .  Try em you'll be asking every racking company to switch over from stainless!
