IS 6603:2024 Stainless Steel Semi-Finished Products, Bars, and Wire Rods - Specification?

BIS IS 6603:2024 specifies the technical delivery conditions for semi-finished products, hot or cold-formed bars, wire rods, and bright bars made of various grades of corrosion-resistant stainless steel. The purpose is to ensure that the material is appropriate in dimensions, physical properties, and quality to meet further processing and practical application.

BIS IS 6603:2024 provides specifications for stainless steel semi-finished products, including hot or cold-formed bars, wire rods, and bright bars. Such products must be chosen considering requirements about these parameters and the manufacturing process related to chemical composition, quality assurance, and physical properties.
