The CSA Internet Database Service field code to use when searching for
alloys either by name or code is
The field that contains either specific manufacturers' designations
or trade names of alloys or alloy compositions discussed in the source
document, (e.g.. INCONEL 718, 90Cu-10Zn) is the ML field. All entries
made in this field are assigned materials classifications.
