Granules and powders, of pig iron, spiegeleisen, iron or steel
In plain English
This category covers granules and powders made from pig iron, spiegeleisen, iron, or steel. The items are separated into groups based on their form and composition. One group includes the granules of these materials, while another distinguishes between powders that are alloy steel and those that are not.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter
Stainless vs. carbon steel — chemistry-based; alloy content determines heading.
