Product Overview
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.
