ASTM A194 Grade 8, ASTM A194 Grade 8 Bolt, Nuts, ASTM A194 Bolt Manufacturer in India – Ananka Group

The heavy hex nuts produced as per ASTM A194 Grade 8 are made from austenitic stainless steel. They are applied in the industries of petrochemical, chemical processing, oil and gas, and power generation operations that expose their use at high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. Grade 8 nuts have superior corrosion resistance and strength in adverse conditions.

Composition and Characteristics of ASTM A194 Grade 8

The ASTM A194 Grade 8 nuts are generally made up of austenitic stainless steel, from any grade 304, or grade 304L grade. The corrosion and mechanical properties of austenitic stainless steel resist high corrosion with reliable elevated as well as cryogenic temperature. 

Advantages of ASTM A194 Grade 8 Nuts:

Excellent corrosion resistance: Chromium and nickel provide austenitic stainless steel with excellent resistance to oxidation and corrosion. These nuts are therefore apt for applications facing moisture, chemicals, or corrosive materials.

High-temperature strength: Maintains much of the mechanical properties at elevated temperatures; in this regard, these nuts may be quite reliable in serious applications such as those dealing with pressure vessels, flanges, and heat exchangers.

Versatility: ASTM A194 Grade 8 nuts can be used with a wide variety of stainless steel bolts, including many made from ASTM A193 Grade B8, making it well-suited for a host of applications in the industries.

ASTM A194 Grade 8 nuts are very suitable for applications where corrosion resistance, strength, and performance at temperature become principal requirements. They are hard-wearing fastening solutions with proper corrosion resistance, thereby providing reliability and versatility to industrial projects.
