Analysis of stainless steel analogs to AISI (USA), EN (Europe), JIS (Japan), GB (CHINA), GOST (CIS) Systems

Over the past 15–20 years, a substantial amount of imported equipment for various purposes has been acquired. When such equipment breaks down, there is often a need to replace damaged components.

One of the major challenges involves the inability to accurately determine the equivalency between the materials used in original foreign components and those available in the CIS, including their heat treatment methods and mechanical properties. This issue complicates the selection of suitable domestic alternatives.
