Class 1A Low Temperature Fasteners - AISI 304 Solution Treated Grade
ASTM A320/A320M Grade B8A Class 1A represents the Class 1A solution treated variant of the world's most widely used austenitic stainless steel bolting material. With maximum hardness of 192 HBW (90 HRB) compared to 223 HBW for Class 1, B8A provides enhanced formability and reduced work hardening for demanding fabrication processes. The lower hardness maximum ensures superior cold forming characteristics while maintaining 75 ksi tensile strength, making ASTM A320/A320M Grade B8A Class 1A is ideal for complex fastener heads, deep thread rolling, and low temperature applications requiring maximum ductility and ease of manufacture.
