The difference between commercial steel and stainless steel
Thread Content
Dear sea friends: I would like to ask how to translate “commercial steel”? What’s the difference from stainless steel? I checked out the forum post: https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-31814-1-1.html SPHC – Here, S stands for Steel, P stands for Plate, H stands for Heat, and C stands for Commercial; in general, it refers to hot-rolled steel plates and strips. But I still don’t understand. Thank you for the guidance
The C here, namely commercial, refers to business or commercial use. In simpler terms, Commercial Steel is just ordinary steel, that is, it is not special-grade steel (such as stainless steel, heat-resistant steel, high-strength steel, etc.).
Thank you for the guidance:handshake
I searched on Baidu: Section steel is a type of bar-shaped metal material with a specific cross-sectional shape and dimensions; it is one of the four main categories of steel products (plates, pipes, sections, and wires). Based on the cross-sectional shape, steel sections are divided into simple cross-section steel sections and complex cross-section steel sections (special-shaped steel). The former refers to square steel, round steel, flat steel, angle steel, hexagonal steel, etc ； The latter refers to I-beams, channel steels, railway rails, window frame steel, bent steel profiles, etc. structural steel. It’s not commercial steel.
