German term

biegebrucharbeit

German to English Tech/Engineering Metallurgy / Casting material properties
Context: a patent relating to an alloy with high hardness, wear resistance and toughness.

"... die Schaffung von hochdruckresistenten, insbesondere Kaltarbeits-Werkstoffen gleichzeitig mit wesentlich verbesserter Beständigkeit gegen abrasiven Verschleiß, mit erhöhter plastischer BIEGEBRUCHARBEIT und Biegebruchfestigkeit sowie mit einer signifikant erhöhten 0,2% Stauchgrenze des Materials."
I found 'transverse rupture strength' for Biegebruchfestigkeit (cf. DIN-ISO 3327) but nothing for Biegebrucharbeit.

Discussion

mgrange (asker) Dec 13, 2005:
plastische Biegebrucharbeit 'plastische Biegebrucharbeit [Nmm]' also occurs as a table heading, and again in the following context: "Die plastische Biegebrucharbeit dieser Werkstoffe liegt vorteilhaft bei Werten �ber 2900 Nmm."
I've searched every combination I can think of involving plastic, bending/flexural/transvers, rupture/fracture/breaking, work and energy with no conclusive result. (I found 'energy of fracture' for Brucharbeit.) However, the German term itself can't be very common as it gives few hits on Google.

bending fracture work, fatigue fracture work

'Fracture work' is the amount of work (effectively energy) it takes to fracture a particular material in a particular configuration. The fracturing process is non-elastic, which is why it absorbs work.

As for 'Biege...', the commonly used terminology is a bit varied. IMO the common equivalents in English are 'bending' and 'flexural'. The term you found '(transverse rupture strength') sounds to me like it is based on certain assumptions about the test setup.

Sorry, please change 'fatigue fracture work' to 'flexural fracture work'

2 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you, Kenneth. Obviously a tricky one. I referred it to my client, who came up with 'shear work of fracture', but I agree with you that 'Biege' suggests 'bending' or 'flexural'"

POST-GRADING ANSWER_plastic work of bending to fracture

This term was coined by Haberling (http://www.springerlink.com/content/k157858074123323/) who calls it "plastic work of bending to fracture" and is measured in a non-standardised test
