BS EN 10088-1:2005

This European Standard, a part of the BS EN 10088 series, lists the chemical composition of stainless steels, which are subdivided in accordance with their main properties into corrosion resisting steels, heat resisting steels and creep resisting steels.

This second edition of BS EN 10088-1 is a revised reference document containing chemical analysis and physical property data for 160 stainless steels plus 18 nickel and cobalt alloys.

Annexes to this standard give guidance data on some physical properties, information on the classification of stainless steel grades, emperical formulae for steel grade classification by microstructure, and a matrix to show which steels are included in which standards.
