ASTM A320 Grade B8T Class 2
Strain Hardened 321 Titanium Stabilized High-Strength Continuous & Double-End Studs
ASTM A320 Grade B8T Class 2 combine titanium stabilization with strain hardening to deliver elevated strength in weldable austenitic stainless steel. These cold-worked 321 studs achieve 125 ksi tensile and 100 ksi yield strength for high-performance flanged connections subject to thermal cycling. B8T Class 2 are specified for exhaust manifold flanges, boiler mounting studs, and process piping expansion joints where welded construction, high clamping force, and resistance to sensitization at elevated temperatures are simultaneously required.
