Class 1A Low Temperature Fasteners - AISI 304LN Solution Treated
ASTM A320/A320M Grade B8LNA Class 1A is a low-carbon, nitrogen-bearing austenitic stainless steel (UNS S30453) in the Class 1A condition. Table 3 limits carbon to 0.030% maximum and requires nitrogen of 0.10 to 0.16%. Class 1A bolting is carbide solution treated in the finished condition for corrosion resistance, with the same 75 ksi [515 MPa] tensile and 30 ksi [205 MPa] yield minimums as the other Class 1A grades and a maximum hardness of 192 HBW or 90 HRB (Table 1). Grade B8LNA is exempt from impact testing above -425°F [-255°C] (6.2.1.1), making ASTM A320/A320M Grade B8LNA Class 1A suitable for low temperature pressure vessel, valve, flange, and fitting bolting.
