Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If blended with other alloy grades
Non-pure stainless mixtures classified as other alloy steel scrap
If significant iron/non-alloy contamination
Predominant material determines classification over stainless content
If heat-resisting alloy but below stainless chromium threshold
Less than 10.5% chromium alloys fall under different stainless subheadings
