Steel has a higher electrical resistance than brass. This means you will have to go with bigger bolts than what you would use with brass bolts. Remember that the washers used will also have an influence on the effectiveness of the connection. Industrial equipment that uses steel bolts uses a special washer that bites into the conductor material.

I hope that helps.
