Product Overview

What are ASTM A193 Grade B8M Screws?

ASTM A193 Grade B8M screws are high-performance fasteners manufactured from austenitic stainless steel, specifically Type 316 or its variants, conforming to ASTM A193 standards. These screws are designed for use in high-pressure, high-temperature, and corrosive environments, offering superior resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking due to their molybdenum content.

Grade B8M screws are solution-annealed and strain-hardened to achieve the required mechanical properties, making them ideal for critical bolting applications in chemical processing, oil & gas, marine, and power generation industries. Each batch is supplied with full traceability and EN 10204 3.1 certification, ensuring compliance with international standards and project specifications.

Material Chemistry

ASTM A193 Grade B8M Chemical Composition

ASTM A193 Grade B8M 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 B8M Alloy Composition Matters for Screws

Mo (2–3%) — Chloride & Acid Resistance
Molybdenum in ASTM A193 Grade B8M screws provides superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride-rich and acidic environments, outperforming standard 304 stainless steel in marine and chemical process applications.
Low Carbon — Weldability & Sensitization Resistance
The low carbon content (=0.08%) ensures excellent weldability and minimizes the risk of intergranular corrosion after welding, making these screws suitable for pressure vessel and piping assemblies.
Austenitic Structure — Non-Magnetic & Ductile
The fully austenitic microstructure of Grade B8M screws delivers non-magnetic properties and high ductility, allowing for reliable performance under cyclic loading and thermal expansion.
