ASTM A193 B16 ALLOY STEEL ROUND BAR

B16 Alloy Round Bar – High-Strength Industrial Fasteners

ASME A193 B16 alloy steel is a chromium-molybdenum-vanadium alloy designed for high-strength applications, particularly in extreme temperature environments. It is widely used in power generation turbines and industrial fastener applications, such as high-strength bolting for pressure vessels, valves, flanges, and fittings. B16 alloy rounds are hot worked, solution treated (annealed) and then descaled.

This heat-treated chromoly steel (AISI 4140) is engineered for superior mechanical properties and thermal stability under demanding conditions. The addition of vanadium enhances its high-temperature performance, making ASTM A193 Grade B16 ideal for bolts used below 450°C (842°F) while maintaining structural integrity up to 1,100°F.
