    The British spec's only give the analysis breakdown and need to be cross referenced against a known listing, such as the SAF series.

    In OZ,BSS 5005/401 would equate to SAF No.7, BSS 5005/103 equates to SAF No.1 and DD8 equates to SAF No.7
    Is the SAF mentioned here the Sandvik company of Swedenicon? Or is it an acronym for something else?

    Edit:

    Is SAF No.7 this ? Sanicro 70 — Sandvik Materials Technology


    ...and I can't find SAF No. 1 because all the names are changed, I think.
