GB Standard List: Irons, Structural and Constructional Steels, Stainless Steels, Castings and Welding

The group of Chinese (GB) standard specifications covers iron and carbon and alloy steel within different delivery conditions such as plates, strips, shits, bars, wires, castings, forgings etc. All character set standards that originate in the PRC have designations that begin with "GB". GB is an abbreviation of Guojia Biaozhun, meaning "national standard".

GB standards are the Chinese national standards issued by the Standardization Administration of China (SAC), the Chinese National Committee of the ISO and the IEC. This article gives information on the following material categories:

  • Irons
  • Structural and Constructional Steels
  • Stainless Steels
  • Castings
  • Welding and Filler materials

 

For more information on the GB designation system see Introduction to the GB Standard Designation System.

The list of standards below cover a wide range of materials and applications a few of which are:

  • Various steels suitable for specialist applications such as use in pressure vessels
  • Stainless steels used specifically in for the production of surgical implants
  • Numerous welding applications specifically electrode applications
