Stainless steels are well known for their excellent corrosion resistance. The austenitic 300 and A2 series are covered by ASTM Specification F593/594 and ISO 3506. Both series are essentially 18-8 (18% chromium and 8% nickel) materials, with compositions very close to the nominal composition of Type 304/A2. If an application calls for a material with better corrosion resistant properties, type 316/A4 are the next logical choice. Type 316/A4 stainless steel is a higher alloyed material containing a minimum of 2% molybdenum, which provides better pitting and crevice corrosion-resistant properties, especially in environments containing chlorides. For high temperature or high pressure services and other special purpose applications, the B8 and B8M classes of stainless steel alloys are specified in ASTM A193/193M for bolts and ASTM A194/194M for corresponding nuts.
