ASTM equivelents for DIN metals

ASTM equivelents for DIN metals

ASTM equivelents for DIN metals

(OP)
Is there a website to convert one standard to another?
I am looking for a ASTM or AISI number that is a close match to DIN St52-3N.

RE: ASTM equivelents for DIN metals

Is this for bar?  ASTM A 29 grade 1518 is equivalent to St52-3.

It would be for plate. Does A29 still apply?

RE: ASTM equivelents for DIN metals

No, ASTM A 29 is a steel bar spec.  Stahlschlüssel lists ASTM A 572 grade 50 as the equivalent for structural applications.  It also lists grades 1024 and 1524 as equivalents, but the carbon content is higher for these grades.  1518 is better, but this grade has not be used in plate standards.

Thanks for all your help.

RE: ASTM equivelents for DIN metals

Like murphy12, I too is looking for a web site that is able to help me convert between standards. I'm currently working with ISO, ASME, DIN and SAE.

RE: ASTM equivelents for DIN metals

There is quite a bit of information out there, it just takes a bit of tracking down. Try entering the Werkestoff Number and looking at the responses. It all depends on the product form.

Here's a few that I've found useful:

http://www.bgh.de/e/_bgh/select/sorten.htm
http://www.e-pipe.co.kr/eng/eng.html
(input the standard number into the search box and follow the links) This is tricky due to it being a Korean site

http://www.export911.com/ref/tolEquiv.htm

http://mdmetric.com/tech/matnr2.htm

Other useful sources are the producers from the country of the standard origin - they usually have product brochures that give comparisons.

Only thing that I would say is beware using comparators published on the web that are not published documents such as technical brochures in pdf format. Much better to go to a specification conversion book such as
Worldwide guide to equivalent irons and steels published by ASM. I have to hand to ASM they produce some fine reference books.

Seems to me there are a lot of enquiries about equivalent specifications. Could do with some FAQ?!

Regards

Andy
