The English designations for stainless steel grades and their corresponding execution standards can vary depending on the regional or international standard used. Here are some common examples:

1. International Standard:

Grade Designation: Stainless Steel (commonly abbreviated as SS)

Execution Standard: No specific unified standard for all grades globally, but standards like ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) or EN (European Norm) are widely used.

2. American Standard:

Grade Designation: Often uses a numeric system (e.g., 304, 316) or a combination of numeric and UNS (Unified Numbering System) code (e.g., UNS S30400 for 304 stainless steel)

Execution Standard: ASTM standards, such as ASTM A240 for stainless steel plate, sheet, and strip.

3. Japanese Standard:

Grade Designation: Prefix "SUS" followed by a numeric system (e.g., SUS304, SUS316)

Execution Standard: JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards), such as JIS G4304 for stainless steel cold-rolled steel plates.

It's important to note that while these designations and standards provide a framework for identifying and specifying stainless steel grades, the exact composition and properties of a stainless steel grade can vary slightly depending on the specific standard and the manufacturer. Therefore, when specifying a stainless steel grade, it's crucial to reference the appropriate standard and, if necessary, consult with the supplier for detailed composition and property information.
