UNS - Unified Numbering System
The Unified Numbering System - UNS - used for metals and alloys.
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) |
