Grade Tables Hardness Data and Buying Guides for Precision Strip
Everything a buyer or a design engineer needs to write a strip specification that can be quoted in one pass. The cross reference tables come from the Yongxin technical data sheets and the guides come from how the plant actually runs.
Material Guide
Stainless Steel Grade Comparison Table
Use this table to translate the stainless grade on your drawing into the designation the mill will quote against. It covers 36 grades across ten standards.

Hardness Conversion Table for Steel Strip
Your drawing quotes HRC, our mill certificate quotes HV and your incoming inspection uses HRB. This table converts between Brinell, Rockwell A B and C, Vickers and Shore so both sides work from the same number.

FAQ
Knowledge Center FAQ
What is in the Yongxin knowledge center
Grade cross reference tables for stainless and cold rolled steel, a hardness conversion table, a temper guide, an RFQ buying guide, a family comparison and a packing and storage guide.
Are the tables free to use
Yes. They are published so that buyers and engineers can settle a specification before contacting us. They are also available as PDF in the download center.
Do the articles cover Yongxin products specifically
Each article links to the relevant product family and states the actual thickness width temper and grade ranges Yongxin produces, so the guidance is usable rather than generic.
Who should I contact with a technical question not covered here
Email the sales desk with your drawing or specification. Technical questions are answered by the people who run the mill, not by a call centre.
Still Not Sure What to Specify
Send the drawing and the process the strip feeds. Our engineers will tell you which grade temper and surface to write on the order.
