Class 1A Low Temperature Fasteners - AISI 316LN Solution Treated
ASTM A320/A320M Grade B8MLNA Class 1A represents the premium low-carbon, nitrogen-enhanced variant of 316 stainless steel, combining molybdenum and nitrogen for superior corrosion resistance. With maximum carbon content of 0.030% and nitrogen addition of 0.10-0.16%, B8MLNA delivers exceptional resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and intergranular attack. Class 1A solution treatment limits hardness to 192 HBW while maintaining 75 ksi tensile strength, making ASTM A320/A320M Grade B8MLNA Class 1A essential for marine environments, chemical processing, and low temperature applications requiring maximum corrosion performance.
