Product Overview

What are ASTM A193 Grade B8 Washers?

ASTM A193 Grade B8 washers are precision flat washers manufactured from austenitic stainless steel, specifically Type 304 (UNS S30400), and are designed to provide reliable load distribution and corrosion resistance in bolted assemblies. These washers are produced in accordance with ASTM A193 and ASTM F436/F844 standards, ensuring compatibility with Grade B8 bolts and studs for high-pressure, high-temperature, and corrosive service environments.

Grade B8 washers are solution-annealed and carbide solution treated to optimize mechanical properties and prevent intergranular corrosion. They are widely specified for use in petrochemical, power generation, and process piping applications where both mechanical strength and resistance to atmospheric and chemical attack are critical.

Material Chemistry

ASTM A193 Grade B8 Chemical Composition

ASTM A193 Grade B8 Washers 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 Washers

Cr (18–20%) — Corrosion Resistance
High chromium content forms a passive oxide layer, protecting ASTM A193 Grade B8 washers from rust and chemical attack in process, marine, and atmospheric environments.
Ni (8–11%) — Ductility & Toughness
Nickel enhances ductility and toughness, ensuring washers maintain integrity under dynamic loads and thermal cycling, especially in flange and piping assemblies.
Low Carbon — Intergranular Corrosion Resistance
Low carbon content prevents carbide precipitation during welding or high-temperature service, maintaining corrosion resistance at washer edges and surfaces.
