Common questions
How do I find the equivalent of a grade in another standard?
Find the grade in the list below and read across: UNS (USA), W.Nr and EN (Europe), JIS (Japan) and IS (India). Open the grade for its full equivalents, chemical composition, mechanical properties and the closest alternative grades.
Are equivalent grades exactly the same?
Not always. Equivalents are close but each standard has its own chemistry limits, mechanical properties and testing. Treat an equivalent as a starting point, put the exact standard on the order and check the mill test certificate against it.
What do UNS and W.Nr mean?
UNS is the Unified Numbering System used with ASTM and SAE standards (for example S30400 for SS 304). W.Nr is the German Werkstoffnummer used in EN standards (for example 1.4301 for SS 304).
