Steel Number Comparison between China and Major Industrial Countries
Steel is an important material in economic and social development. Steel is widely used in various industries such as transportation, construction, energy and electronics. Different countries have different steel grades and standards, and steel with the same grade may have different names and steel number in different countries.
The following table compares the steel number between China and major industrialized countries to help understand the steel number standards in different countries.
In the UK, BS and EN standards are commonly used. The BS steel number system is under the control of the British Standardization Committee. The EN standard is an European Standard, which is an international standard. In the US, the ASTM standard is commonly used. The ASTM and SAE steel number system is under the control of SAE International and the American Society for Testing and Materials. In Germany, the DIN standard is commonly used and is controlled by the German Institute for Standardization. Japan, France and other countries also have different standards.
In the comparison between China, the US, the UK, Germany and Japan, the steel number is represented in Chinese by the Chinese Steel and Iron Association, the US by AISI / ASTM, the UK by BS or EN, Germany by DIN and Japan by JIS, respectively. Chinas steel number is represented by GxBxx, and the corresponding letters indicate the categories of steel.
In addition to the types of steel number system mentioned above, some other countries such as Russia, Sweden and South Korea have also established their own steel number systems.
In summary, there is a variety of steel number formats for steel, and these steel number formats are generally applicable in their respective countries. In order to better understand the steel grade, it is necessary to understand the standard, specifications and symbols of each country, and to correctly use the steel number of each country according to the actual circumstances.
