Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing non-stainless alloy elements exceeding limits
Mixed alloy steel scrap not qualifying as pure stainless falls under other alloy steel scrap headings
If from non-alloy steel with stainless contamination
Base iron/steel scrap with incidental stainless content classified by predominant material
If other alloy steel scrap not stainless
Distinguishes stainless-specific scrap from general alloy steel scrap categories
