In the U.S., these steels are dictated by the ASTM standards A1008/A1008M and A1011/A1011M for sheet metal and A656/A656M for plates. These steels were developed for the automotive industry to reduce weight without losing strength.
The A36 (UNS K02600) standard was established by the ASTM International. The standard was published in 1960 and has been updated several times since. [2] Prior to 1960, the dominant standards for structural steel in North America were A7 (until 1967 [3]) and A9 (for buildings, until 1940 [4]). [5] Note that SAE/AISI A7 and A9 tool steels are ...

For alloys in general (including steel), unified numbering system (UNS) of ASTM International and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). American steel grades : AISI/SAE steel grades standard; British Standards; International Organization for Standardization ISO/TS 4949:2016; European standards – EN 10027
Many material or standard specifications include a number of different UNS numbers that may be used within that specification. For example: UNS S30400 (SAE 304, Cr/Ni 18/10, Euronorm 1.4301 stainless steel) could be used to make stainless steel bars ( ASTM A276 ) or stainless steel plates for pressure vessels ( ASTM A240 ) or pipes ( ASTM A312 ).
ASTM International, formerly known as American Society for Testing and Materials, is a standards organization that develops and publishes voluntary consensus technical international standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems and services.
ABS steels include many grades in ordinary-strength and two levels of higher-strength specifications. All of these steels have been engineered to be optimal long-lived shipbuilding steels. ABS does permit the use of other steels in shipbuilding, but discourages it, and requires more detailed engineering analysis.
The SAE steel grades system is a standard alloy numbering system (SAE J1086 – Numbering Metals and Alloys) for steel grades maintained by SAE International. In the 1930s and 1940s, the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) and SAE were both involved in efforts to standardize such a numbering system for steels. These efforts were similar ...
