Carbide Solution Treated 321 Titanium Stabilized Continuous & Double-End Studs
ASTM A320 Grade B8T Class 1 stud bolts feature titanium stabilization with carbide solution treatment for superior resistance to chromium carbide precipitation during welding and thermal exposure. These Class 1 studs manufactured from AISI 321 offer 75 ksi tensile strength and 30% elongation with maximum 223 HBW hardness. The titanium content of 5x(C+N) minimum ensures B8T Class 1 stud bolts maintain intergranular corrosion resistance in as-welded flanges, making them essential for heat exchanger tube sheets, furnace piping, and cyclic temperature applications where post-weld solution treatment is impractical.
