Korea Steel Grades
Korean steel grades are widely used throughout the world. In Korea, steel is classified using the Korean Standard System (KS). It is accepted by the Korean government and has become the standard used by Korean industries. The Korean standard system (KS) is based on the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) and Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). The AISI/SAE system is an effective way to accurately express the properties of steel.
Korea Steel Grades are used to classify different types of steel. Steel grades are comprised of four parts: a series number, a chemical symbol, a grade number and a numeric system, such as KS-D3751-STS410. The Korean system assigns a series number, which is a shorthand way of expressing the type of alloy. The series number is determined by the primary composition of the steel. The next two parts of the grade are the chemical symbol and the grade number. The chemical symbol expresses the elements that compose it. The grade number expresses the specific grade, with each grade having mechanical and physical characteristics based on AISI and SAE standards. Finally, the numeric system is used to identify the specific steel grade.
There are many types of Korea Steel Grades; these include carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, tool steel and die steel. All these grades are designed for different applications. Carbon steel is the most common grade used in most general manufacturing applications, while alloy steel is used in applications that require higher strength or increased heat resistance. Stainless steel is used in many applications that require resistance to corrosion and high temperatures, while tool steel and die steel are used in applications that require great strength and wear resistance.
Korea Steel Grades are used in a wide range of industries, from automotive and aerospace to military and industrial. The Korean Standard System is a reliable way to accurately and effectively express the properties of different steel grades to ensure effective selection and implementation of steel grades in specific applications. With the Korean Standard System, the properties of steel grades can be compared and contrasted with similar grades to ensure that the most suitable grade is chosen for each application.
