Class 1A Low Temperature Fasteners - AISI 304LN Solution Treated
ASTM A320/A320M Grade B8LNA Class 1A is an advanced low-carbon, nitrogen-bearing austenitic stainless steel that enhances the performance of standard 304L material. With maximum carbon content of 0.030% and nitrogen addition up to 0.16%, B8LNA achieves higher yield strength and improved resistance to sensitization during welding. Class 1A solution treatment limits hardness to 192 HBW while maintaining excellent formability, making ASTM A320/A320M Grade B8LNA Class 1A ideal for heavily welded pressure vessels, structural components in corrosive environments, and low temperature applications requiring maximum toughness and fabrication flexibility.
