FWIW I agree

I have direct experience* that when it comes to buying steel (or rather things made of specified grades of material including steel) what you order is not always what you get. especially in situations with difference might be be arrapent without specific testing i.e finished products


*we often do test purchases of items that claim to be of certain properties and they often aren't (however they are cheap even when they are!)


Sorry just to say it's not that this never happens anywhere else, just that it is a known issue in China and to an extent India
