Access a comprehensive, professionally formatted Material Test Certificate according to EN 10204-2004: 3.1 for ASTM A193 Grade B8C (Columbium Stabilized 347 / UNS S34700). Inspect the exact documentation your QA and engineering teams will receive with every Ananka Fasteners order.
What's Inside This ASTM A193 B8C MTC Certificate
This sample mill test certificate mirrors the rigorous QA documentation package standard for Columbium (Niobium) stabilized austenitic stainless steel fasteners shipped from Ananka Fasteners Pvt Ltd.
- Full Traceability: Certified with TC No.: S185/26-XX and corresponding ASTM specifications.
- Columbium Stabilized Chemistry: Detailed breakdowns verifying the explicit addition of Columbium + Tantalum (Cb+Ta) to the AISI 347 base chemistry. This critical addition stabilizes the steel by preferentially bonding with carbon, preventing chromium depletion and sensitization during welding or high-temperature exposure (425–870°C).
- Solution Treatment Verification: Confirms the material is carbide solution treated (Class 1 condition), ensuring maximum ductility and corrosion resistance.
- 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 B8C MTC Certificate
Why is Columbium (Niobium) added to B8C fasteners?
Grade B8C is manufactured from AISI 347 stainless steel. Columbium (also known as Niobium) is added to stabilize the steel. Similar to titanium in 321 stainless, columbium bonds with carbon during high-temperature exposure (425–870°C). This prevents chromium from depleting at the grain boundaries, providing superior resistance to intergranular corrosion. Columbium is highly preferred over titanium in welding applications because it does not burn off as easily in the welding arc.
What does Class 1 mean for Grade B8C?
Class 1 denotes that the fasteners have been carbide solution treated (annealed) but not intentionally strain-hardened. This provides excellent ductility, keeping the maximum hardness to 96 HRB, while providing a minimum yield strength of 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.
