Cement boards can cause certain screws to rust

Tilers Forums Official Sponsors

I've used drywall screws,doubt they would rust,as any screw unless it's a swimming pool
Did someone mention swimming pool ! just for information purposes the screws mostly used in swimming pools are a very high -grade Stainless Steel....where i have seen any other screws they have always gone rusty......
 
I secured my half inch plywood to the subfloor with yellow coated, zinc, plated, construction screws. I was gonna go over the plywood with cement board to tile in the kitchen area and was wondering if the thin set that I apply under the cement board to bond the cement board to the plywood would cause any corrosion to the zinc, plated, yellow construction screw that I secured the plywood to the s?
