catégorie d'acier spécial


Explanation:
Je n'ai jamais entendu parler de "nuances" en sidérurgie ou en métallurgie (le texte Ovako est lui-même une traduction).
On parle bien de "produits exotiques" en général ou de "bois exotiques", mais quand les produits sont conçus et fabriqués par l'homme, il me semble que "spécial" est la collocation appropriée.

There are plenty of FR Google hits for 'nuance in connection with 'acier', including this one that appears authoritative:

La désignation numérique attribue un numéro d'acier unique à chaque nuance d'acier. Exemple : 1.43 10. Le premier chiffre désigne le groupe matériau.
