ASTM A193 Grade B8LNA Specification

ASTM A193 Grade B8LNA Specification for high tensile bolts, screws, stud bolts, anchor bolts, threaded rods and other externally threaded fasteners, made from 304LN stainless steel.

ASTM A193 Grade B8LNA is a standard material specification for nitrogen enhanced corrosion resistant 304LN stainless steel fasteners, for use in high tensile, high temperature and special purpose applications such as pressure piping & pressure vessels bolting. Grade B8LNA is a carbide solution treated 304LN stainless steel classified under class 1A having a minimum tensile requirement of 75 ksi, yield 30 ksi and maximum hardness limit of 223 HBW or 96 HRB. ASTM A193 specification covers requirements for chemical composition, mechanical properties, hardness, heat-treatment and recommended nuts-washers for Grade B8LNA Fasteners.
