ASTM A193 B8C Fasteners

High Corrosion Resistance:

• ASTM A193 B8C fasteners are highly resistant to corrosion, particularly in environments containing corrosive chemicals, high humidity, and exposure to marine conditions. This is due to the chromium and nickel content in the 347 stainless steel.

Excellent High-Temperature Performance:

• These fasteners maintain their mechanical properties and resist scaling at high temperatures. They are suitable for applications involving high heat, such as in the aerospace, chemical, and petrochemical industries.

Stabilized with Columbium (Niobium):

• The 347 grade stainless steel is stabilized with columbium (niobium), which prevents carbide precipitation during welding and at high temperatures. This stabilization enhances the material’s strength and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures.

Good Mechanical Properties:

• ASTM A193 B8C fasteners offer a good balance of tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation. These mechanical properties make them reliable and durable for heavy-duty applications.

Non-Magnetic in the Annealed Condition:

• These fasteners are non-magnetic when annealed, which can be advantageous in applications where magnetic interference needs to be minimized.
