The Cross Specification Index lists the alloys and product forms under the scope of various specifications. The index can be used to allow users to determine:

  1. Which specifications cover given UNS alloys and product forms.
  2. Which alloys and product forms are in the scope of a given specification.
  3. Which other specifications overlap the coverage of a given specification.

NOTE: Except for the UNS system, this site does not provide details on the specification systems mentioned above. It provides a cross reference of the scope of the specifications.
