The field is contained entirely within the guide, so, you can use any type of fastener on the flanges. Typically, however, brass or stainless is the most common. It is OK to use ferrous screws/nuts, but they can become magnetized if close to an isolator. If using one of those, then care should be taken regardless, not because of the effects on the performance but the possibility of getting iron shavings into the guide. 73 - Mike

Not completely OT, as stable and accurate timebases are very useful in microwave systems... What's the proper hardware to use for connecting WR-90 (10GHz) waveguide sections? I figure 8-32 brass or stainless, avoiding anything magnetic.
