16MnCrS5

[juniiee]

What is the equivalent of this material?
What does BF means in 16MnCrS5 BF?
What does TH means in 16MnCrS5+TH?

 

[PaulvdH]

BF stands for BreitFlach;
It's german, meaning "large sheet"
+TH means "treated to hardness range"
meaning the steel has been treated to reached a certain hardness.

Breit in this case means wide.

 

[PaulvdH]

large/wide... meaning is the same.
I think Juniiee got the point, right?

Paul,

I wasn't passing judgement on your translation. The sheet has thee linear dimensions, and Breit refers to one of them, specifically the width.
