Document title
Optional subheading
ASTM A193 Grade B7 is a low alloy chromium
molybdenum (CrMo) steel supplied in the fully
hardened, tempered and stress relieved condition.
Our stock is dual certified to ASTM A320 Grade L7,
with Charpy impact tests taken at –101°C (27J min).

It is typically used in the petrochemical industry for the

manufacture of bolts, fasteners, studs and studbolts.

Scope Steel Manufacture Delivery Condition

ASTM A193 Grade B7 is a bolting specification
for medium-high temperature service. It is a
heat treated chromimum molybdenum steel
and is considered suitable for applications up
to 450°C (840°F). L7 has the same chemical
& physical properties as B7, with additional
Charpy V Notch (CVN) tests taken at -101°C
(-150°F) for low temperature service.
Steel is manufactured via Electric Arc Furnace,
continuously cast, followed by heat treatment
and bright conversion.
Applicable bar diameters: 10mm – 4’’ including
Metric and Imperial thread rolling diameters.
Surface conditions: Drawn or Turned
(size dependent).
*4’’ dia is currently only available as B7.
