Material Cross Reference Swedish to US
2001
Does anyone know of a cross reference between Swedish Standard materials and US materials? Of most interest are the following SS4212, SS1650, SS1312, SS4212-06, Alca Plus, Roblan E, CPK, DSS M30,
10X71, and LGS 3061000/060. Also looking for US finishes comparable to the following White Cromate, Svartox, Black Ox, Black Nite, and Kronotering.
Thanks for your help

I can help you with one of your specs. Alca Plus is a brand of Cast Tool and Jig Plate that is produced both here in the US and in Europe under that name. It is considered comparable to a product called Mic 6. Some companies are very particular and don't allow substituting one product for the other. There is preference and strong allegiances to both products because of its anodizing responsiveness or should I say limited anodizing responsiveness.
