What's Inside This Grade 2 (316/316L) MTC Certificate
This sample mill test certificate mirrors the rigorous QA documentation package standard for highly pitting-resistant, molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel bolts and cap screws shipped from our facilities.
- Full Traceability: Certified with TC No.: B42/25-XX and corresponding ASTM F593 specifications.
- Marine-Grade Chemistry: Detailed breakdowns verifying the essential Molybdenum (2.00–3.00%), Chromium (~16.80%), and Nickel (~10.50%) content, providing exceptional resistance to chlorides and pitting corrosion.
- Dual Certification Compatibility: Explicit verification of the low carbon content (0.03% max for the 'L' designation), ensuring compliance with both standard 316 strength requirements and 316L weldability standards.
- Mechanical Properties: Comprehensive reporting of Tensile Strength (710.50 MPa), Yield Strength (455.20 MPa), Elongation (36.50%), and Hardness (90, 91, 89 HRB) per ASTM F593 Condition CW (Cold Worked) requirements.
- Quality Compliance: 100% visual inspection carried out and verified free from defects and radioactive contamination.

Technical FAQs — ASTM F593 Grade 2 (316/316L) MTC
Why is Molybdenum tracked so closely on this certificate?
The addition of 2.00–3.00% Molybdenum is what fundamentally separates Alloy Group 2 (316) from Group 1 (304) stainless steel. This MTC validates the exact Molybdenum percentage, ensuring the bolts possess enhanced resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, especially in chloride-rich environments like marine offshore structural components and de-icing salt exposure.
What does "Dual Certification" (316/316L) mean on this MTC?
The chemistry section shows a maximum Carbon content below 0.030% (the "L" requirement), while the mechanical properties meet the higher tensile and yield strength requirements of standard 316. This means the fasteners are "Dual Certified," offering both the structural strength of 316 and the superior weldability/carbide precipitation resistance of 316L.
What condition are these F593 bolts supplied in?
ASTM F593 bolts are typically supplied in Condition CW (Cold Worked). Unlike the fully annealed condition (Condition A), the cold working process significantly increases the mechanical strength of the bolts, allowing them to achieve the higher minimum tensile (655 MPa) and yield (450 MPa) strengths documented in the mechanical properties table.
