Pitfalls:
- 1.4404 and 1.4432 are both 316L-type but have different composition ranges and cannot be substituted at will.
- European customers may require an EN 10204 3.1 certificate stating the EN grade.
- Some special grades (such as 1.4529) have no direct Chinese standard equivalent and must be matched by composition.
It is recommended to use composition as the basis, with grade designations serving only as an index.
