Class 1 Low Temperature Fasteners - AISI 321 Austenitic Stainless Steel
ASTM A320/A320M Grade B8T is the standard Class 1 titanium stabilized austenitic stainless steel bolting grade designed for low temperature and high temperature corrosive service. Manufactured from AISI 321 with 17-19% chromium and 9-12% nickel, B8T offers excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion and oxidation up to 1500°F. With 75 ksi minimum tensile strength and 30% elongation, ASTM A320/A320M Grade B8T provides outstanding toughness at cryogenic temperatures while maintaining structural integrity in cyclic thermal applications.
