Unified numbering system for designation of iron, steel and alloy

1 Scope

This standard specifies the general requirements, structural types, classification and grouping, coding rules, compilation and management of the unified numerical codes for designations of iron, steel and alloy products (referred to as "ISC").

This standard is applicable to the compilation of ISCs for designations of iron, steel and alloy products. For any iron, steel and alloy products listed in national standards and professional standards, their product designation and ISC shall be included in such standards at the same time, and both are in reference to each other, and both methods of representation are valid.

2 Normative references

3 General requirements

3.1 The product classification, definitions and product designation names used in this standard shall conform to the relevant requirements of the standards listed in Clause 2.

3.2 An ISC consists of a fixed six-digit symbol. The left first digit is prefixed with a capitalized Latin letter (usually "I" and "O" are not used), followed by five Arabic numerals, with no gap between the letter and numerals.

3.3 Each ISC applies to only one product designation; conversely, each product designation corresponds to only one ISC. When a product designation is canceled, the corresponding ISC is no longer assigned to any other product designation in general.

4 Structural types

The structure of the ISC is as follows:



5 Classification and grouping

5.1 The classification and grouping of iron, steel and alloy are mainly based on their basic composition, characteristics and uses, taking into account the existing customary classification methods in China and the actual number of various product designations.

5.2 The classification, grouping and sequential numbering of iron, steel and alloy shall have certain spare empty digits by taking full account of the development of various kinds of iron, steel and alloy and the emergence of new materials.

5.3 See Table 1 for the types of iron, steel and alloy and the ISC and representation method for each type of product designation.

6 Coding rules

6.1 Alloy structural steels

6.1.1 The ISCs of alloy structural steels are in the form of A×××××. Alloy structural steels mainly include alloy structural steel and alloy spring steel, but do not include alloy steel for welding (see 6.15), alloy cast steel (see 6.3) and powder metallurgy alloy structural steel (see 6.10).

6.1.2 See Table 2 for the representation method of ISCs of alloy structural steels.

6.2 Bearing steels

6.2.1 The ISCs of bearing steels are in the form of B×××××. Bearing steels mainly include high-carbon chromium bearing steel, carburized bearing steel, high temperature bearing steel (including high temperature carburized bearing steel), stainless bearing steel, carbon bearing steel, non-magnetic bearing steel, and graphite bearing steel.
