Metalliliste

Metalliliste is a term used in some European and Scandinavian contexts to describe a structured catalog or database that lists metals and metal alloys for engineering, manufacturing, and materials research. The exact meaning and scope of the term can vary by organization, and it is not tied to a single international standard.

A metalliliste typically functions as a reference repository that teams use to select materials, verify properties, and ensure compliance. Its contents commonly include the name of the metal or alloy, chemical composition, relevant standards or specifications, mechanical properties such as yield and tensile strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance, as well as physical properties like density and melting point. It may also record applicable forms and processing states (for example, annealed, tempered, or extruded), certifications (such as mill test reports), suppliers, and stock or product form (bars, sheets, plates, billets).

In practice, metalliliste data are integrated into broader information systems such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) or product lifecycle management (PLM) environments. They support procurement decisions, design and analysis, quality assurance, and traceability, helping users compare alternatives and comply with industry standards and project requirements.

Because metalliliste is not a standardized term with a single definition, its exact structure and terminology can differ between organizations and languages. The concept is related to material databases, alloy catalogs, and bills of materials, and has parallels in other languages where terms like metal list or metallurgical catalog are used. Overall, a metalliliste serves as a centralized, organized reference for metal materials used in engineering and manufacturing.
