Niobium (columbium), as follows---

(a) Niobium-based alloys containing 60 per cent or more niobium or niobium-tantalum in combination;

(b) Scrap forms of the alloys covered by sub-item (a) above.

Note:

(See also Items IL 1675 and 1760)

This Item does not embargo industrial grades of ferroniobium or ferroniobium-tantalum which contains at least 25% by weight of iron or other metalloid elements common thereto.

Molybdenum alloys containing 97.5 per cent or more molybdenum, except wire.

Nickel-based alloys (i.e. containing a higher percentage by weight of nickel than of any other element), as follows-

(a) With a combined content of aluminium and titanium greater than 11 per cent;

(b) Dispersion strengthened containing more than 1 per cent of oxides of thorium, aluminium, yttrium, zirconium, cerium, or lanthanum; or

(c) Containing 0.05 per cent or more scandium, yttrium, didymium, cerium, lanthanum, neodymium, or praseodymium.

(See also Item IL 1672.)

Tantalum and tantalum alloys, as follows-

(a) Tantalum powder containing less than 200 p.p.m. of total metallic impurities, and sintered anodes made therefrom;

(b) Tantalum-based alloys containing 60 per cent or more of tantalum, and scrap forms thereof.

Note:

This Item does not embargo industrial grades of ferrotantalum or ferrotantalum-niobium which contains at least 25 per cent by weight of iron or other metalloid elements common thereto.

(See also Items 1649 and 1760.)

Titanium-based alloys in crude and semi-fabricated form, or as scrap, having a nominal composition of 6 per cent aluminium, 2 per cent tin, 4 per cent zirconium, 6 per cent molybdenum, and the balance titanium.

(See also Item IL 1672.)

Aluminides of titanium which contain 12 weight per cent or more aluminium, and aluminides of nickel, cobalt and iron which contain 10 weight per cent or more aluminium, in crude or semi-fabricated forms, and scrap thereof.

(See also Item IL 1635, 1648, 1661 and 1671.)

Vanadium of 99.7 per cent or higher purity (including scrap) and alloys which contain vanadium of 99.7 per cent or higher purity as an alloying agent (including scrap).

Superconductive materials of all types and processed conductors containing at least one superconducting constituent, which are designed for operation at temperatures below 103K (-170°C, -274°F), except processed conductors which possess all of the following characteristics

(a) The superconducting constituent, when evaluated in sample length of less than one metre, does not remain in the super-conducting state when exposed to magnetic induction in excess of 12 tesla at a temperature of 4.2K (-268°C, −451.8°F);

(b) The superconducting constituent or filament has a cross-section area greater than 3.14 × 10-4 mm2 (20-micrometre diameter for circular filaments);

(c) The superconducting filament(s) are embedded in a copper or copper-based mixture matrix; and

(d) The conductor is either non-coated or insulated with varnish, glass fibre, polyamide or polyimide;
