This British Standard is published by BSI and came into effect on

30 November 2009. It was prepared by Panel ACE/61/-/48, Heat resisting
alloys, under the authority of Technical Committee ACE/61, Metallic
materials for aerospace purposes. A list of organizations represented
on this committee can be obtained on request to its secretary.

Supersession
This standard supersedes BS HR 205:1989, which is withdrawn.
