What do the designations mean?
EN number: the material number in the European standards. For copper and copper alloys it begins with “C” (e.g. CW004A, CC483K) and the second letter shows the product type: W for wrought products (rod, sheet, tube) and C for castings. Aluminium alloys carry the prefix “EN AW-” (e.g. EN AW-6082).
DIN (W.Nr.): the German material number, or Werkstoffnummer (e.g. 2.0060). It is still common on older drawings and specifications.
UNS: the Unified Numbering System used in the United States. Copper and copper alloys begin with “C” (e.g. C11000).
BS: the short designation in the former British Standards (e.g. C101, CZ121).
Steel material numbers and names: under the EN 10027 system, steels are identified by a material number beginning with “1.” (e.g. 1.2379) and by a steel name that reflects the composition (e.g. X153CrMoV12). Tool steels are covered by EN ISO 4957 and stainless steels by EN 10088. AISI gives the US equivalent (e.g. D2, 321) and JIS the Japanese one (e.g. SKD11, SUS321).
The “≈” sign marks a near equivalent: the composition ranges in the two standards do not match exactly, but they are close enough for the materials to be used interchangeably in practice. For critical applications, we recommend checking the composition and mechanical properties against the material certificate.
The densities are the nominal values used in the weight calculator.
