NAME TYPE DESCRIPTION APPLICATIONS

AISI Stainless Serves a wide range of applications. It withstands

304 Steel ordinary rusting in architecture. It resists organic
chemicals, dyestuffs and a variety of inorganic
chemicals.
AISI Stainless It contains slightly more Nickel than 304 and 3- Washer, spacer
316 Steel 4% molybdenum giving it better resistance to ring, gasket
corrosion, especially in harsh environments.
ASTM Carbon Covers seamless forged carbon steel piping Flange, Threaded
A105 Steel components for use in pressure systems at plug,
ambient and high-temperature service.
ASTM Alloy Alloy steel, AISI 4140/4142 quenched and Bolts
A193 Steel tempered. ASTM A193 Grade B7 bolts and
B7 threaded studs are manufactured from a
chromium-molybdenum steel and are quenched
and tempered (heat treated) to develop the
desired mechanical properties (strength). Grade
B7 is the most common grade of A193 bolts used
in construction. B7 threaded studs and short,
headed bolts are readily available in the
marketplace. Grade B7 bolts are commonly used
in pipe flange connections. These bolts are
typically bought and sold in a plain, bare metal
finish but are often hot-dip galvanized, zinc
plated, Xylan coated, PTFE coated, or otherwise
coated for corrosion resistance. Note that coated
bolts may not be able to withstand the high
temperatures that uncoated B7 bolts can be
subjected to.
ASTM Stainless Class 1 Stainless steel, AISI 304, carbide Bolts
A193 Steel solution treated. ASTM A193 Grade B8 Class 1
B8 bolts and threaded studs are manufactured from
AISI 304 stainless steel. Type 304 is the most
common grade of stainless steel used in the
fastener industry. Fasteners manufactured using
this austenitic stainless steel require carbide
solution treatment on bars to be threaded or after
the heading operation for bolts with forged
heads. Carbide solution treatment, also referred
to as solution annealing, is a process in which
fasteners or stainless bars are heated and then
water-quenched to assure maximum corrosion
resistance. A193 Grade B8 Class 2 bolts are
strain hardened after carbide solution treatment
to achieve increased strength characteristics and
reduce the potential for galling. Class 2 bolts are
 marked “B8SH” with the grade symbol
underlined.

ASTM Cast Steel Typically referred to as a cast regular temp or reg Pump case and
A216 temp steel. For each grade WC - stands for cover, housing,
Gr. "wrought carbon" with the third letter indicating diffuser
WCB grade - the higher the grade the higher the
tensile/yield strength
ASTM Cast This specification covers iron-chromium and Pump Impeller
A743 Stainless iron-chromium-nickel alloy castings for general
Steel corrosion-resistant application. The grades of
these castings represent types of alloy castings
suitable for broad ranges of application which are
intended for a wide variety of corrosion
environments. The steel shall be made by the
electric furnace process with or without separate
refining such as argon-oxygen decarburization.
The castings shall be subjected to heat treatment.
ASTM Shaft
A434 Chromium-Molybdenum through-hardening steel
of medium hardenability. Standard Specification
for Steel Bars, Alloy, Hot-Wrought or Cold-
Finished, Quenched and Tempered

ASTM This specification covers hot-finished or cold- Spacer sleeve,

A276 finished bars except bars for reforging. It spacer ring
includes rounds, squares, and hexagons, and hot-
rolled or extruded shapes, such as angles, tees,
and channels in the more commonly used types
of stainless steels. The bars shall be furnished in
one of the following conditions: Condition A in
which the bars are annealed, Condition H in
which the bars are hardened and tempered at a
relative temperature, Condition T in which the
bars are hardened and tempered at a relatively
high temperature, Condition S in which the bars
are strain hardened or relatively light cold
worked, and Condition B in which the bars are
relatively severe cold worked. The material shall
be subjected to a mechanical test to determine its
 tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and
Brinell hardness.
AISI Medium low-carbon steel, has good weldability Key
1018 and slightly better machinability than the lower
carbon steels.
