B8 CLASS 2 ASTM A193/A193M -11 specifies the mechanical properties of bolts, screws and nuts made of austenitic (amongst others) stainless steels for high temperature or high pressure service and other special purpose applications. In ASTM A193/A193M -11, austenitic steels are divided into 6 classes (1, 1A, 1B and 2, 2B and 2C) and 27 grades (B8, B8A, BBC, BBCA, B8M, B8MA, B8M2, B8M3, BBP, B8PA, B8N, B8NA, B8MN, B8MNA, B8MNLCuN, B8MLCuNA, B8T, B8TA, B8R, B8RA, B8S, B8SA, B8LN, B8LBNA, B8MLN, and B8MLN, and B8LNA). Broder Metals Group Ltd, through its’ trading division High Tensile Stainless, supplies B8 Class 2 and B8 Class 2B material (both 304 stainless, cold drawn to increase tensile properties) that enable fastener manufacturers and others to produce products that meet or exceed the properties required by the above standard. We stock round bar from 10 mm to 75 mm diameter, and hexagons from 10 mm to 60 mm AF. We can also produce flats and squares not covered by the standard, on request, to reduce machining costs (up to 101.6 mm [4”] square and flats to 100 mm x 50 mm [4” x 2”]). Please enquire detailing the properties required. Background Grade 304 is the standard 18/8 stainless; it is the most versatile and most widely used stainless steel. It has excellent forming and welding characteristics. The balanced austenitic structure of Grade 304 enables it to be severely deep drawn without intermediate annealing, Grade 304 also has outstanding welding characteristics. Grade 304L, the low carbon version of 304, does not require post-weld annealing and so is extensively used in heavy gauge components (over about 6mm). Grade 304H with its higher carbon content finds application at elevated temperatures. The austenitic structure also gives these grades excellent toughness, even down to cryogenic temperatures. Good oxidation resistance in temperatures up to 870°C. Con
