Technical Note:
"Superalloys" are nickel-, cobalt-, or iron-base alloys having strengths superior to the AISI 300 series (as of the 1st May 1982) at temperatures over 922K (649°C) under severe-environmental and operating conditions. Excluded are carbon steels, low-alloy steels and stainless steels having strengths inferior to the AISI 300 series (as of the 1st May 1982).
Metal rolling mills, as follows, and specially designed components, accessories and controls and "specially designed software" therefor-
(a) Isothermal rolling mills, except those capable of operating only at ambient temperatures--
Technical Note:
In an isothermal rolling mill a constant instantaneous temperature profile is maintained in the contact area between the workpiece and the rolls.
(b) Other mills specially designed or re-designed for the rolling of metals and alloys with a melting point exceeding 1900°C (3452°F).
"Isostatic presses", as follows, and specially designed dies and moulds (except those used in "isostatic presses" operating at ambient temperatures), components, accessories and controls and "specially designed software" therefor
(2) Capable of achieving a maximum working pressure of 138MPa (20,000 psi) or more and possessing a chamber cavity with an inside diameter in excess of 406 mm (16 inches); or
(b) Having a controlled thermal environment within the closed cavity and possessing a chamber cavity with an inside diameter of 127 mm (5 inches) or more.
Technical Note:
"Isostatic presses" are equipment capable of pressurizing a closed cavity through various media (gas, liquid, solid particles, etc.) to create equal pressure in all directions within the cavity upon a workpiece or material.
Nozzles, dies and extruder barrels specially designed for the processing of the fluoro-carbon materials covered by Item IL1754(b)(2).
Equipment specially designed for the manufacture of cable and optical fibres embargoed by Item IL1526.

Equipment designed for the manufacture or testing of printed circuit boards, as follows, and specially designed components and accessories, and "specially designed software" therefor-
(a) Equipment specially designed for removal of resists or printed circuit board materials by dry (e.g. plasma) methods;
(b) Computer-aided design (CAD) equipment for printed circuit boards, having any of the following functions-
(1) Generation of artwork design with an interactive capability;
(2) Generation of test string lists for multi-layer boards;
(3) Generation of data or "programmes" for "stored-programme controlled" printed circuit board drilling equipment;
(4) Generation of data or "programmes" for "stored-programme controlled" printed circuit board shaping and profiling equipment; or
(5) Generation of data for control of the sequencing of processes of the equipment for printed circuit board manufacture embargoed by (c) below;
(c) High-speed automated continuous panel processors for plating capable of delivering more than or equal to 860 A/m2 (80 A/ft2) of plate current. (This does not include processors specially designed for, and restricted to, plating tab (edge) connectors);
