Material Influence Area

The material steel is still the most frequently used construction material in mechanical engineering. This is not only due to the enormous number of different steel compositions, but also to the experience with this material. In countless studies, scientific principles and application-related properties have been developed and published. The first edition of the journal Stahl und Eisen dates back to July 1, 1881 and is still published monthly. Numerous other proven and new specialist publications appear at regular intervals. The Stahl-Eisen-Liste is the official current compilation of all registered steel grades contained in European standards with their material numbers. The last printed edition was the 11th edition [1]. After that, the Stahl-Eisen-Liste was made available as the StahlDat [2] database based on the internet. In international standardization, the steels are now listed without a material number.
