ASTM A193 Grade B8MLN Specification

ASTM A193 Grade B8MLN Specification for high tensile bolts, screws, stud bolts, anchor bolts, threaded rods and other threaded fasteners, made from 316LN / UNS S31653 stainless steel. ASTM A193 Grade B8MLN is a standard material specification for corrosion resistant 316LN fasteners such as bolts, screws, studs, threaded rods and other externally threaded parts, for use in high tensile, high temperature and special purpose applications such as pressure piping & pressure vessels bolting. Grade B8MLN is a carbide solution treated 316LN stainless steel material having classified under tensile class 1 & 1D with minimum tensile requirement of 75 ksi, yield 30 ksi and maximum hardness limit of 223 HBW or 96 HRB. This specification covers requirements for chemical composition, mechanical properties, hardness, heat-treatment and recommended nuts-washers for Grade B8MLN Fasteners.
