Unlike CF8M and CF3M of ASTM A351, CF8C grade has option for stabilization treatment due to Nb present which forms carbides, between 870 and 900 C after solution annealing in austenite matrix. This prevents depletion of chromium around grain boundary and prevents sensitization of steel.

CF8M stainless steel is the most widely used US standard austenitic stainless steel casting grade. Its equivalent type is cast 316. From the name CF8M, the letter "C" means the alloy is mainly for the purpose of corrosion resistance. The letter "F" is the approximate location on the iron-chromium-nickel (FeCrNi) ternary diagram.

Note 1: Carbon steel castings for pressure-containing parts are covered by Specification A216/A216M, low-alloy steel castings by Specification A217/A217M, and duplex stainless steel castings by Specification A995/A995M. 1.2 A number of grades of austenitic steel castings are included in this specification. Since these grades possess varying
