UNS Steel
UNS steel specifications stockholders and suppliers, delivering to the whole of the UK. UNS grades (Unified Numbering System) cover a wide range of steel specifications. Each grade is defined as a letter followed by five numbers.
The Unified Numbering System is a designation system widely accepted in the USA. It consists of a prefix letter and five digits designating a material composition. For example, a prefix of S indicates a stainless steel alloy, C indicates a copper, brass, or bronze alloys, T indicates a tool steel. The first 3 digits often match older 3-digit numbering systems, while the last 2 digits indicate more modern variations. For example, Copper Alloy No. 377 in the original 3-digit system became C37700 in the UNS System. The UNS is managed jointly by the ASTM International and SAE International. A UNS number alone does not constitute a full material specification because it establishes no requirements for material properties, heat treatment, form, or quality. Some common grades translate to other standards. For example UNS S17400 is ASTM grade 630, Cr-Ni 17-4PH precipitation hardening stainless steel UNS S30400 is 304, UNS S31600 is 316 UNS S31603 is 316L.
