J1086_201210: Numbering Metals and Alloys

Features

Issuing Committee: Metals Technical Committee

Scope

Content

This SAE Recommended Practice describes a unified numbering system (UNS) for metals and alloys which have a "commercial standing" (see 6.1), and covers the procedure by which such numbers are assigned.

Section 2 describes the system of alphanumeric designations or "numbers" established for each family of metals and alloys.
Section 3 outlines the organization established for administering the system.
Section 4 describes the procedure for requesting number assignment to metals and alloys for which UNS numbers have not previously been assigned.

Rationale

Content: The technical report covers technology, products, or processes which are mature and not likely to change in the foreseeable future.
