Product Overview

What are ASTM A193 Grade B8 Screws?

ASTM A193 Grade B8 screws are high-performance fasteners manufactured from austenitic stainless steel, specifically Type 304 (UNS S30400), and are designed for use in high-temperature and high-pressure service. These screws are solution-annealed and strain-hardened to achieve the required mechanical properties, making them ideal for critical bolted joints in petrochemical, power generation, and process industries.

Grade B8 screws offer excellent resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and scaling at elevated temperatures. They are widely specified for pressure vessel flanges, heat exchangers, and piping systems where both strength and corrosion resistance are essential. All fasteners are produced in accordance with ASTM A193 and supplied with full traceability and certification.

Material Chemistry

ASTM A193 Grade B8 Chemical Composition

ASTM A193 Grade B8 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 B8 Alloy Composition Matters for Screws

Cr (18–20%) — Corrosion Resistance
High chromium content forms a passive oxide layer, giving ASTM A193 Grade B8 screws excellent resistance to atmospheric corrosion, most oxidizing acids, and chloride environments.
Ni (8–11%) — Austenitic Structure
Nickel stabilizes the austenitic structure, ensuring ductility and toughness even at cryogenic temperatures. This makes B8 screws suitable for both high and low temperature service.
Low Carbon — Intergranular Corrosion Resistance
Low carbon content minimizes carbide precipitation during welding, reducing the risk of intergranular corrosion and ensuring long-term reliability in process piping and pressure vessels.
