FSG 96 | Ores, Minerals, And Their Primary Products

Note-only bulk material will be identified in this class. ores are a naturally occurring material from which economically valuable minerals can be obtained. Includes bauxite; ferrous ores; lead ores; precious metal ores; radioactive metal ores; zinc ores.

Note-only bulk material will be identified in this class. minerals are naturally occurring substances with a characteristic chemical composition that can be expressed by a formula. Includes clays and other earths; mica; asbestos; crude petroleum; graphite. Excludes gravel (fsc 5610); sand (fsc 5610); abrasives (fsc 5350); refractory clays (fsc 9350).

Note-only bulk material will be identified in this class. additive metal materials are those which are added to metals to improve their characteristics as required (e.g., lead added to steel to improve the machinability). Includes alloying additives (aluminum, antimony, copper, and others). Excludes fuel inhibiting additives (fsc 6850).

Note-only bulk material will be identified in this class. a. primary products are raw unfinished ingots, pigs, that require refinement to be usable. b. semi-finished items are primary products that have been refined to a state that requires further manufacturing processes to its final, usable state. Includes ingots; pigs; billets; blooms; muck bar; rods for wire; sheet bar; skelp; tube rounds.

Note-only bulk material will be identified in this class. a. refinery forms are raw unfinished ingots, pigs, that require refinement to be usable. b. intermediate forms are primary products that have been refined to a state that requires further manufacturing processes to its final, usable state. Includes ingots; slabs.

Note-only bulk material will be identified in this class. primary forms are raw unfinished ingots, pigs, that require refinement to be usable and are made of precious metals. Includes bullion; ingot.
