1) Alternative selection within brackets.
2) Also other grades with similar chemical composition (minor variations mainly the C and/or N contents). Stabilizing element, if any, can be either Ti or Nb.
3) "xxx" = constructed classification, denotes the type.
4) Sandvik 25.10.4.L can also be used for the welding of other similar super-duplex steels as well as for a group of 25% Cr duplex steels with PRE values between 37 and 40 (UNS S31803 has PRE 35 and UNS S32750 PRE >41).
