Tech/Engineering - Metallurgy / Casting
Spanish term or phrase: en BL
The sentence is as follows:

Estas tablas valoran solo la anchura, por lo que al aplicar la valoracion, el 6.1 se convierte en un 7.4, limite maximo salidendose muchas veces fuera de especificacion a nada que la banda central en BL sea mas marcada.

This refers to bands of carbides in steel as far as I can tell.

Thanks!

Explanation:
At the risk of repeating myself...! But for the sake of glossary post accessibility, thought I'd better answer again.


BL = boundary layer??? Could this fit. Abbreviations are often used without translating, and English, I suspect, is the language of metallurgy. Here is where my suspicions arose: Metallurgylayer (CMF-BL) differs from the classical Blasius. boundary layer problem of flow past a plate ... the CMF-BL problem, the flow field is steady for a co- ...

Not a v gd reference I know, but something to chew on...and further googling on "Boundary Layer BL" provided plenty of positive response, although in a wide variety of fields.

ballistic limit

Explanation:
If armour plate is central in this translation, consider this alternative.

http://www.navweaps.com/index_nathan/metalprp2002.htm

BALLISTIC LIMIT - Minimum striking velocity of a specific projectile against a specific plate under a given set of conditions (impact obliquity, etc.) that will allow the projectile to barely defeat the plate using its kinetic energy (not meaningful for projectiles that rely primarily on their explosive power to damage the plate hit), where the definition of "defeat" varies with the date, the nation/manufacturer doing the test, the armor type, and/or where on the target it is used--"Complete Penetration" or "Base Through" (U.S. "Navy" BL) or "Through Crack" (U.S. "Army" and British Standard BL through the end of World War II) or "Protection" (specified damage to a thin "witness" plate spaced a short distance behind the armor plate becoming the new post-World War II U.S. Army BL) being the three most widely used definitions of Ballistic Limit. "Nose Through" (tip of projectile nose extended past plate back surface into space behind plate) is another, less widely used BL, for example.
