No, it is not an American designation (AISI), and I'm a metallurgist.
You could try searching overseas for European or Asian grades, but before you do, please check the exact spelling of the grade number.
Common US stainless grades usually start at 200, 300, & 400 series.

Yes, at work we use stainless steel 304 nuts that fall under ASTM A-194 Gr 8 fastener specifications for cryogenic service all the time.

stainless steel usually has a grade like 16/10 or 14/10 referring to the nickel to iron ratio.

No. What is the context?
BTW: "18/8" , "18/10" refers to the chromium/nickel percentages in the material.
A stainless has to have at least 11% (sometimes you hear 12%) chromium to be considered stainless.
