EN stands for “Emergency Number”. There was intense demand for developing new materials during the world war era for manufacturing advanced weapons and machinery. Scientists and engineers involved in research do not have sufficient time to set standards for discovered materials having different chemical compositions and mechanical properties. Based on the chemical composition of a material, they had given emergency numbers, in short form “EN”.
