Werkstoff

[Materialsdunce]

Can anyone recommend a resource to aid in the understanding of the Werkstoffnummer system? Specifically, the meaning of the numeral right of the second decimal. Thank you in advance.

without wishing to sound like a total arse, google threw up some handy tables with no effort at all.

Perhaps I was not specific enough in my initial question. Beyond the German translated Wikipedia article, I can't seem to find a resource that describes the function of the digit right of the second decimal in a manner clearer than "Advanced Serial Number". I would be most appreciative of any resource in English or translatable that can definitively describe this digit's function or elaborate on the "Advanced Serial Numbers" Thanks again.

Don't you have the standard? Isn't that where it's defined?

A bit late, but I think it may be in DIN 17.007 T1 (4.59), T2(9.61),
I only have a partial excerpt from another source (unknown)
Roughly, the first digit left of 1st decimal is the Main Material Group
1 being steel

The middle 4 digits are "Sortennumer or Sortenklasse + Zaehlnumer
which is roughly type class + count number.

Number(s) to the right of the 2nd decimal are "AnhaengeZahlen" or
"attached numbers" These latter numbers depend, for steel, on how the
steel was made, e.g.
1st digit: 0=undefined, 1= un Killed ThomasStahl, 2= killed ThomasStahl etc
2nd digit: 0=no or any treatment; others are temper type, hardened, coldformed etc.
Its a bit long to reproduce here. Best to get the standard.
