Tech/Engineering - Metallurgy / Casting / heavy plate steel | | German term or phrase: Brucheinschnürung | "Aufpreise für Brucheinschnürung. "
From a price list for steel plates. Deals with reducing the thickness. |
| | | through-thickness reduction | Explanation:
In your context, Brucheinschnürung refers to a quality test (that's why it costs more).
See ref 1 for the German, and ref 2 for the same table in English (click on 'Extras for through thickness reduction').
From a Bethlehem Steel brochure:
"In conventional plate steels, transverse and through-thickness mechanical test values are normally much lower than those from logitudinal specimens."

| necking at fracture
Explanation:
performing a tensile test, when the specimen's cross section area is decreasing (known as Necking) and necking down is a "Reduction in area concentrated at the subsequent location of fracture when a ductile metal is stressed beyond its yield point in tension".
It depends on the properties of materials.
From the glossary : Necking
Localized reduction of cross-sectional area of a specimen under tensile load. It is disregarded in calculating engineering stress but is taken into account in determining true stress.
