Import Tips
• Annealing process docs prevent 'further worked' claims; must not include prohibited surface treatments
• Specify welding rod vs. wire; assembled electrodes shift to 8311 for welding/cutting preparations
• Carbon equivalence calculations if trace alloys present, to confirm nonalloy status
