Traditional Domestic Grades

• Q195 / Q235:Older-style cold-rolled base sheets, equivalent to DC51D+Z; used only for low-end, simple fencing;
• SPCC:Cold-rolled base sheet, uncoated; cannot be used directly as a substrate for color-coated steel;
• SGCC:Japanese-standard commercial galvanized steel; domestic factories often use this to directly refer to DC51D+Z color-coated steel;
• SGLCC:Japanese-standard aluminum-zinc coated steel, equivalent to DC51D+AZ;
• TDC51D: Baosteel corporate standard, fully equivalent to the Chinese national standard DC51D+Z.
