Note 1. The max. value for nitrogen does not apply if the chemical composition shows a minium total AL content of 0.015 % or alternatively min. 0.013 % acid souble AL or if sufficient other N
binding elements are present . In this case the N binding elements shall be mentioned in the inspection document.
2. The steel may show a Nb content of max. 0.06 %, a V content of max. 0.15 % and a Ti content of max. 0.06 % .
