Product Overview

What are ASTM A193 Grade B16 Screws?

ASTM A193 Grade B16 screws are high-strength alloy steel fasteners manufactured for use in high-pressure, high-temperature bolting applications. Produced from chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steel, these screws are quenched and tempered to achieve superior mechanical properties, including a minimum tensile strength of 860 MPa (125 ksi). ASTM A193 B16 screws are engineered for critical service in petrochemical, power generation, and refinery piping systems, especially where elevated temperatures up to 593°C (1100°F) are encountered.

These screws are specified for bolting pressure vessels, valves, flanges, and fittings in environments where standard B7 fasteners may not provide adequate strength or creep resistance. All material is fully traceable and supplied with EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 certification for demanding EPC and maintenance projects.

Material Chemistry

ASTM A193 Grade B16 Chemical Composition

ASTM A193 Grade B16 Screws are manufactured from chromium-molybdenum alloy steel with Cr (0.8–1.1%), Mo (0.15–0.65%), and vanadium additions in B16 grades, controlled per ASTM and ASME SA-193. Cr-Mo additions raise hardenability and creep rupture strength for pressure vessel service; vanadium in B16 extends the allowable service temperature to 538°C.

Why ASTM A193 Grade B16 Alloy Composition Matters for Screws

Cr-Mo-V Alloy — High-Temperature Strength
Chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium combine to provide ASTM A193 B16 screws with exceptional strength retention at temperatures up to 593°C (1100°F), making them ideal for steam, hydrocarbon, and process plant bolting.
Controlled Carbon & Manganese
Precise carbon and manganese levels ensure a balance of ductility and toughness, reducing the risk of brittle fracture in high-stress environments.
Low Phosphorus & Sulfur
Strict limits on phosphorus and sulfur minimize the risk of embrittlement and improve weldability, ensuring reliable performance in critical bolted joints.
