ASTM A320 Grade B8M Class 1
Carbide Solution Treated 316 Molybdenum-Bearing Continuous & Double-End Studs
ASTM A320 Grade B8M Class 1 are manufactured from carbide solution treated 316 stainless steel containing 2-3% molybdenum for superior pitting resistance. These Class 1 continuous threaded and double end studs offer 75 ksi tensile strength with 30% minimum elongation and maximum hardness of 223 HBW. The enhanced chloride resistance makes B8M Class 1 indispensable for marine flanges, chemical reactor vessels, pulp digesters, and offshore platform piping where both corrosive exposure and cryogenic toughness demand premium austenitic material.
