Explanation:
According to GDT (particularité = métallurgie), but I think it could also be "other particles"...

Asker:

Asker: it's the fact that the result is a percentage that worries me, you might thenk it would be other metals/elements?

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hello Blavatsky. In answer to your question, in the absence of information I went with 'vague' rather than guessing a specific, so characteristics and components. I fear some specific meaning in the French has probably been lost though.

other particulate matter


Explanation:
Just a thought, since you also have the "other components / elements" item.

I would read this first one as being something that could be detected in terms of discrete particles (however tiny!), whereas the next element might be, for example, gases... I know that things like oxygen content are quite important and often quoted for some metals (Cu immediately springs to mind)

I'm no metallurgist, though!
