| China Standard of Stainless Steel Wire |
| |
China’s current standard of stainless steel wire:
GB/T4240-93 stainless steel wire standard |
| |
| GB/T4240-93 Standard is for the classification of stainless steel wire, brands, size, shape, technical requirements, testing methods, inspection rules, packaging, labelling and quality certificates. This standard applies to stainless steel wire, but does not apply to spring, cold treatment with stainless steel wire and welding. |

Marks for Stainless Steel Grade of China
1Cr18Ni9: An average content of 9 percent nickel, average 18 percent of chromium, carbon content * 10 percent (0.1 percent). |
| |
1.The first figure before the grade mark is ten times the percentage of carbon content.
2. The figure behind the key element indicates the percentage of this element. If the element content is less than 1.5 percent, then the figure is not written, if more than 1.5 while less than 2.5 percent, then the figure 2 is written after the element.
3. The trace elements such as Ti, Nb, Al, N, and other trace elements should be written in the steel grades.
4. The character Y should be added in front of the mark for free cutting steel.
5. The trademark followed by "L" indicates cold drawing, plus "Q" indicates light drawing, plus "R" indicates the soft state. |

International Standards for Stainless Wire |
|
| |
| AISI and SUS are the commonly used marks in description of stainless steel wire. AISI refers to US Steel Association marks of stainless steel while SUS is used in front of Japan marks indicating it is for special purpose. What is the difference? What are the mostly used stainless steel grades in the world? What is the Chinese standard about stainless steel wire as materials used in weaving wire mesh? |
