UNS - Unified Numbering System
The Unified Numbering System - UNS - was developed by ASTM and SAE to correlate different numbering systems for commercial metals and alloys.
The UNS number is not a specification - it is an identification number for a metal or alloy specified elsewhere. The UNS numbering categories are
UNS Series | Metal |
---|---|
A00001 to A99999 2) | Aluminum and aluminum alloys |
C00001 to C99999 2) | Copper and copper alloys |
D00001 to D99999 1) | Specified mechanical property steels |
E00001 to E99999 2) | Rare earth and rare earthlike metals and alloys |
F00001 to F99999 1) | Cast irons |
G00001 to G99999 1) | AISI and SAE carbon and alloy steels (except tool steels) |
H00001 to H99999 1) | AISI and SAE H-steels |
J00001 to J99999 | Cast steels (except tool steels) |
K00001 to K99999 1) | Miscellaneous steels and ferrous alloys |
L00001 to L99999 2) | Low-melting metals and alloys |
M00001 to M99999 2) | Miscellaneous nonferrous metals and alloys |
N00001 to N99999 2) | Nickel and nickel alloys |
P00001 to P99999 2) | Precious metals and alloys |
R00001 to R99999 2) | Reactive and refractory metals and alloys |
S00001 to S99999 1) | Heat and corrosion resistant (stainless) steels |
T00001 to T99999 1) | Tool steels, wrought and cast |
W00001 to W99999 | Welding filler metals |
Z00001 to Z99999 |

Stainless Steel Classifications
Stainless steels are commonly grouped into martensitic stainless steels, ferritic stainless steels, austenitic stainless steels, duplex (ferritic-austenitic) stainless steels, and precipitation-hardening stainless steels.
