Hi Jari,

Funny I have the same book, but I never considered that code.

To my understanding color codes are not standard. I have seen quite a few and they seem to be reliabe only when you know manufacturer.

Here is one:

I think I have seen one different from Böhler.

THe problem is that an 16 mm rod of silver steel, centreless groung mild steel and even cold drawn tempering steel all look fairly similar. Same thing with a hot or cold rolled stuff, but the moment you touch tat with a drill, you can tell, that probably you hit tempering steel instead of easier to machine steel......

I was even considering using the resistor value color coding /electronics) to give a running number and have a printted of number, color code and grade/size to print the sheet and stickers.....
