AISI 308L Bolting Products
AISI 308L is listed in the AUSTENITIC STAINLESS STEEL material family. The reference data below should be checked against the governing product specification, product form and delivery condition before selection or certification.
The reference chemistry table for AISI 308L lists Chromium (Cr): Primary corrosion-resistant alloying element; Nickel (Ni): Austenite stabilizer; Carbon (C): Controlled to suit grade and condition. Confirm exact limits and analysis tolerances against the governing standard and product form.
The mechanical-property table for AISI 308L lists Tensile Strength: Condition and product-form dependent —; Yield Strength: Condition and product-form dependent —; Elongation: Condition and product-form dependent %; Hardness: Grade and condition dependent —. These are reference entries; supplied condition, dimensions, test method and governing specification control the requirements, and the figures are not design allowables.
No one-to-one Werkstoff number was verified for AISI 308L in the cross-reference sources checked for this update. Confirm any proposed EN alternative against the governing specification.

AISI 308L is a chromium-nickel austenitic stainless grade used in welding-related and corrosion-resistant applications. Key performance features vary by grade and condition.
AISI 308L is selected when chromium-nickel alloy is important in service.
The grade provides corrosion resistant, subject to product form and specification.
This characteristic supports use of AISI 308L in appropriate industrial environments.
Performance depends on the certified material condition and governing specification.
AISI 308L is selected for bolting and engineered components where its corrosion, temperature or fabrication characteristics match the service environment.
Typical applications include welding-related components. Confirm suitability against the project specification, temperature, media and product condition.
Typical applications include filler-material systems. Confirm suitability against the project specification, temperature, media and product condition.
Typical applications include general fabrication. Confirm suitability against the project specification, temperature, media and product condition.
Typical applications include fabricated equipment. Confirm suitability against the project specification, temperature, media and product condition.
Consider corrosion environment, temperature, product form, fastener size, heat treatment and the governing specification when selecting AISI 308L.
Corrosion Resistance: AISI 308L is intended for corrosion-resistant service, but actual performance depends on the environment, concentration, temperature and surface condition.
Mechanical Requirements: use certified mechanical properties for the exact grade, product form and condition; do not substitute generic family values for design allowables.
No one-to-one Werkstoff number was verified for AISI 308L in the cross-reference sources checked for this update, so this page does not assign a number. Confirm any proposed EN alternative against the applicable product standard and supplier certificate before substitution.
Typical applications include welding-related components, filler-material systems, general fabrication. Suitability depends on service environment and product condition.
Yes. Tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and hardness vary with product form, heat treatment, cold work, section size and the governing specification.
