IL 1301

(b) Equipment incorporating electric arc devices with a constricted arc column and capable of having a programmable increment (for the continuous movement of the device) less (finer) than 0.01 mm;

(c) Test equipment incorporating electric arc devices embargoed by sub-item (a) above.

Note:

This Item does not embargo plasma torches for industrial gas heating which use a non-constricted arc column with an operating pressure of 1 to 15 bar inclusive.

GROUP D

GENERAL INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT

Equipment and technology for the production of "superalloys", as follows-

(a) Equipment specially designed for the production of "superalloys";

Notes:

(1) Sub-item (a) does not include the following equipment-

(a) Electric arc and induction furnaces, basic oxygen furnaces and remelting equipment using other techniques for the production of carbon steels, low-alloy steels and stainless steels;

(b) Degassing equipment used for the production of carbon steels, low-alloy steels and stainless steels;

(c) Hot and cold rolling mills, extrusion presses, and swaging and forging machines;

(d) Decarburizing and annealing and pickling equipment;

(e) Surface finishing equipment;

(f) Slitting and cutting equipment

(2) Vacuum induction furnaces used in the production of superalloy powders, however, are embargoed by this sub-item.

(3) For the embargo status of other electric vacuum furnaces, see Item IL 1203;

(b) Technology specific to the production of "superalloys", regardless of the type of equipment with which it may be intended to use such technology.

Notes:

1. Sub-item (b) does not include technology on the equipment excluded by Note 1 to sub-item (a) above.

2. Melting, remelting and degassing technology specific to the production of superalloys, however, is embargoed by sub-item (b).

3. This item embargoes equipment specially designed for and technology specific to the production of "super-alloys" in the crude and semi-fabricated forms listed below-

CRUDE FORMS-

Anodes, balls, bars (including notched bars and wire bars), billets, blocks, blooms, briquettes, cakes, cathodes, crystals, cubes, dice, grains, granules, ingots, lumps, pellets, pigs, powders, rondelles, shot, slabs, slugs, sponge, sticks.

SEMI-FABRICATED FORMS (whether or not coated, plated, drilled or punched)-

(i) Wrought or worked materials fabricated by rolling, drawing, extruding, forging, impact extruding, pressing, graining, atomising and grinding, i.e., angles, channels, circles, discs, dust, flakes, foils and leaf, forgings, plate, powder, pressings, and stampings, ribbons, rings, rods (including bare welding rods, wire rods, and rolled wire), sections, shapes, sheets, strip, pipe and tubes (including tube rounds, squares, and hollows), drawn or extruded wire.

(ii) Cast material produced by casting in sand, die, metal, plaster or other types of moulds, including high pressure casting, sintered forms, and forms made by powder metallurgy.
