ASTM A193 Grade B8CLN is a standard material specification for nitrogen enhanced corrosion resistant grade 347LN stainless steel fasteners, for use in high tensile, high temperature and special purpose applications such as pressure piping & pressure vessels bolting. Grade B8CLN is a carbide solution treated 347LN stainless steel further divided into class 1 and class 1D, having similar requirements. ASTM A193 specification covers requirements for chemical composition, mechanical properties, hardness, heat-treatment and recommended nuts-washers for Grade B8CLN Fasteners.
