ASTM A193 Grade B8MLNA Specification for high tensile bolts, screws, stud bolts, anchor bolts, threaded rods and other threaded fasteners, made from 316LN / UNS S31653 stainless steel.

ASTM A193 Grade B8MLNA is a standard material specification for corrosion resistant 316LN fasteners such as bolts, screws, studs, threaded rods and other externally threaded parts, for use in high tensile, high temperature and special purpose applications such as pressure piping & pressure vessels bolting. Grade B8MLNA is similar to Grade B8MLN except that the latter is carbide solution treated after head forming and the former is carbide solution treated in finished condition. Grade B8MLNA is classified under tensile class 1A with minimum tensile requirement of 75 ksi, yield 30 ksi and maximum hardness limit of 192 HBW or 90 HRB. This specification covers requirements for chemical composition, mechanical properties, hardness, heat-treatment and recommended nuts-washers for Grade B8MLNA Fasteners.
