German term or phrase: Wirksumme
Generell gilt, je hoher die sog. "Wirksumme" (oder PRE, Pitting Resistance Equivalent), um so höher die Beständigkeit gegen selektive Korrosion. In Tabelle B im Anhang ist ersichtlich, dass der PRE-Wert der V4A-Stähle fast 50 % höher ist als jener der V2A-Stähle

pitting index
Explanation:
May also simply be a "Wirksumme index". Try doing a Google search for "Wirksumme" on its own or "Wirksumme" and "pitting index" together. Hope this is of some help.

Wirksumme Index/ Crevice Factor/ Crevice Number


Explanation:
They're all the same thing!


"To measure the effect of these alloying elements a formula known as the Crevice Factor (CF), Crevice Number (CN) or Wirksumme Index was developed."


Rowan's Pitting Index is also correct
