ASTM A193 Grade B8LN (AISI 304LN) Sample MTC Certificate
Access a comprehensive, professionally formatted Material Test Certificate according to EN 10204-2004: 3.1 for ASTM A193 Grade B8LN (Low-Carbon, Nitrogen-Strengthened 304 / UNS S30453). Inspect the exact documentation your QA and engineering teams will receive with every Ananka Fasteners order.
What's Inside This ASTM A193 B8LN MTC Certificate
This sample mill test certificate mirrors the rigorous QA documentation package standard for highly specialized, weld-friendly austenitic stainless steel fasteners shipped from Ananka Fasteners Pvt Ltd.
- Full Traceability: Certified with TC No.: S180/26-XX and corresponding ASTM specifications.
- Low-Carbon + Nitrogen Chemistry: Detailed breakdowns verifying restricted Carbon (0.030% max) to prevent carbide precipitation and sensitization during welding or high-temperature service. Because low carbon inherently reduces strength, Nitrogen (0.10% - 0.16%) is strategically added to restore and elevate the yield strength back to standard structural levels.
- Solution Treatment Verification: Confirms the material is carbide solution treated (Class 1), ensuring optimum toughness and a stress-free microstructure.
- Mechanical Properties: Comprehensive reporting of Tensile Strength (Min 515 MPa), Yield Strength (Min 205 MPa), Elongation (Min 30%), and controlled maximum Hardness (96 HRB).
- Quality Compliance: 100% visual inspection carried out and verified free from defects and radioactive contamination.

Technical FAQs — ASTM A193 Grade B8LN MTC Certificate
Why use Grade B8LN instead of standard B8 (304) or B8L (304L)?
Standard B8L (304L) has a restricted carbon limit (0.030% max) to prevent carbide precipitation during welding, but this lower carbon reduces the overall tensile and yield strength. Grade B8LN solves this problem by adding Nitrogen. The nitrogen acts as an interstitial solid-solution strengthener, effectively boosting the yield strength of the low-carbon steel back up to the levels of standard B8 (304) while maintaining full weldability and resistance to sensitization.
What does Class 1 mean for Grade B8LN?
Class 1 denotes that the fasteners have been carbide solution treated (annealed) but not intentionally strain-hardened. This provides excellent ductility and weldability, keeping the maximum hardness to 96 HRB. The nitrogen ensures the yield strength does not drop below 205 MPa (30 ksi).
Are the materials verified to be free from radioactive contamination?
Yes, the MTC document strictly states that the material has been verified as free from radioactive contamination and has undergone a 100% visual inspection to ensure it is completely free from manufacturing defects before dispatch.
