Stainless steel numbering issue
Thread Content
According to the information, different **stainless steels have different numbering systems. For example, in China, the classification of stainless steels is determined by the content of other elements in the alloy. The stainless steel numbering systems in the United States and Japan are both codes. Are the stainless steel models in China, Japan, and the United States compatible with each other?
