ASTM A193 Grade B8MNA Specification

ASTM A193 Grade B8MNA Specification for high tensile bolts, screws, stud bolts, anchor bolts, threaded rods and other externally threaded fasteners, made from 316N stainless steel.

ASTM A193 Grade B8MNA is a standard material specification for high strength 316N stainless steel 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 B8MNA is a carbide solution treated 316N stainless steel classified under tensile class 1A and having 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 B8MNA Fasteners.
