Other characteristics
I would translate it "other characteristics".
Note from asker:
| it's the fact that the result is a percentage that worries me, you might thenk it would be other metals/elements? |

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

other element
as this is a list of elements ....
as for autre composants ..
I would say "other compounds"
as for autre composants ..
I would say "other compounds"
Note from 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
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!
