    2. ASTM A320/A320M Grade B8F

    ASTM A320 / ASME SA-320 Grade B8F Stud Bolts (UNS S30300)

    AISI 303 free-machining austenitic stainless steel · Solution-treated (Class 1) or strain-hardened (Class 2)

    ASTM A320 Grade B8F is an austenitic stainless steel bolting grade specified per ASTM A320/A320M-22 for low-temperature service. Assigned UNS number S30300. Manufactured from AISI 303 free-machining austenitic stainless steel. The grade is supplied in Class 1 (solution-treated) or Class 2 (strain-hardened) condition, with Class 2 offering higher tensile strength through controlled cold work. Grade B8F is the free-machining variant of 304 stainless, used where rapid machining is required. Grade B8F is intended for stud bolts and hex bolts in pressure vessels, valves, flanges, and fittings exposed to corrosive or low-temperature environments. Grade B8F is equivalent to ASME SA-320 Grade B8F in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section II Part A.
