Well, if I guess right, you're going to be using these fasteners for
bolting conductors together? Providing you keep it air/moisture tight,
which most clean boltups are, then you shouldn't have an issue. Corrosion
might be an issue under the bolt head, where the joint will be exposed.
However, for your very mind environment, I wouldn't even worry about it.
Spend your time thinking about more important things.
