What does "SUS" stand for in SUS 316 stainless steel

SUS is the Japanese specification for stainless steel and is widely used in the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS). SUS stands for "Steel Use Stainless", which means short for " stainless steel " and is used to identify the grade and specifications of various stainless steel materials.

In the naming of stainless steel materials, "SUS" is often used as a prefix, followed by a number that usually indicates the specific type or grade of stainless steel, such as SUS304, SUS316, etc.

As a customary symbol, "SUS" helps people quickly identify stainless steel materials and is widely used internationally. Different countries or regions may use different standards to identify stainless steel, but "SUS" is widely accepted as a universal term.

By using the unified identifier "SUS" in naming, it helps reduce communication and misunderstandings, making it easier for people to identify and choose suitable stainless steel materials.

In summary, "SUS" stands for "Steel Use Stainless" and is a shorthand symbol used in Japanese specifications to represent stainless steel materials, which helps to accurately and concisely describe and identify stainless steel materials in various industrial fields.
