Hi Everyone,
This is my first thread/query here at eng-tips.com.
I was recently having a discussion with my manager about materials (especially SS and Duplex SS). We were talking about grades and the inherent strengths and weaknesses of different grades. I was then asked of the logical reason behind naming the different grades as they are - ex., if 304 implies 18/8 then 321 and 310 should also imply something derived from the base.
The reason behind this query is simple - if the logic behind nomenclature is known, then it would be easier to identify the composition/characteristics (I find myself frequenting the mini-chart pitting one grade against the other often).
Thanks and Regards.
