Specification & Designations
|
|
ISO and EURONORM standards have existed for
over 30 years.
Although many participating countries have adopted ISO standards
within their national standards, ISO has yet to garner international
control over the designation system for stainless steels.
Euronorm designation names have been harmonized around the
highly descriptive abbreviations of composition used for many
years in Bulgaria, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania,
Spain and the Unified States.
For example, X2
CrNiN 18 10 signifies:
X for wrought
2 for 0.02% C
8 for 18% Cr
10 for 10%Ni
N for added N
In parallel to this descriptive name, new Euronorm proposals
include for use within the steel industry, a short numeric
code based on the Werkstoffe Number (eg. 1.4311
for the above steel). In this database, compositions
and properties are given for the many established Euronorm
designations and for similar American UNS (Unified Numbering
System) compositions that may not be identical.
