Hi all,

I am trying to source a steel product that is supposed to be made of ASTM 1011 grade 33 steel. I was told by one Chinese supplier that the Chinese equivalent is the Q235b steel, while another one suggested SGC440. Are these steel grades equivalent / similar/ totally different to one another? Could someone please help?

Jason.
