Where this grade is used

Property classes are stamped on the head of bolts and screws above 5 mm diameter. A A2-80 Stainless fastener is specified where the joint needs a proof load of roughly 540 MPa or less. Always match the bolt class with a nut of class A2-80 or higher so the bolt fails before the thread strips.
