Class 1A Low Temperature Fasteners - AISI 305 Solution Treated Grade
ASTM A320/A320M Grade B8PA Class 1A is a specialized high-nickel austenitic stainless steel bolting grade offering exceptional formability and low temperature performance. With 17-19% chromium and 10.50-13.00% nickel, B8PA provides superior cold heading characteristics and reduced work hardening compared to standard 304 grades. Class 1A solution treatment ensures maximum corrosion resistance with hardness limited to 192 HBW, making ASTM A320/A320M Grade B8PA Class 1A is ideal for complex fastener geometries, deep drawn components, and cryogenic applications requiring extensive cold forming operations.
