About SS 316 / A193 B8M Machine Bolts
Tesco Steel & Engineering is a well-known manufacturer, supplier, and stockist of 316/A193 B8M Machine bolts. 316 refers to the grade of the austenitic stainless steel which is used to produce these fasteners. The Austenitic Steels are essentially non-magnetic due to their austenitic nature, which prevents them from being hardened by heat treatment. This steel grade contains the elements molybdenum, which improves pitting corrosion resistance, nickel, which increases hardenability, and manganese, which aids in the deoxidation process of steel. All of these metals contribute to the improved characteristics of the 316/ A193 B8M Machine Bolts. These machine bolts are ideal for domestic as well as commercial use. We use premium-grade raw materials to manufacture these fasteners. This ensures long-lasting and efficient products. We produce 316/A193 B8M Machine Bolts that meet national and international requirements. The ASTM A193 specification-grade B8M is divided into two classes, Class 1 and Class 2. The B8M classes are carbide solution treated with Class 2 additionally strain hardened. The carbide solution treatment, also referred to as solution annealing is a process that is performed to improve the steel's corrosion resistance properties.
