neutral  Richard Benham: Kucera has "special steel", and also the cryptic reference "Euronorm 20/74". Anyone feel like looking up Euronorm 20/74?

Alloy Steel


Explanation:
a general term that will cover both low and high alloyed steels.

Steels that are, for example, heat treatable or supplied with special physical characteristics, such as toughness or hardness (or both.

But, they do not necessarily have to be classified as 'high-grade'

Hope to have helped
