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
