The friction values can vary depending on many factors: material pairing, the surface quality (peak to valley heights), the surface treatment and the type of lubrication. Therefore this information is only meant as a guide

Note: Stainless steel fasteners tend to seize whilst being assembled (tightened). The risk of seizing is alleviated by:
Impact wrenches are not recommended for torquing 300 series stainless steel fasteners.
The tightening torques as stated above result in a 90% utilization of the yield strength.
