CRES > acero resistente a la corrosión
I believe they mean "CRES"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stainless_steel
In metallurgy stainless steel, also known as inox steel or inox from French "inoxydable", is defined as a steel alloy with a minimum of 10.5[1] or 11% chromium content by mass.[2] Stainless steel does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel, but it is not stain-proof.[3] It is also called corrosion-resistant steel or CRES when the alloy type and grade are not detailed, particularly in the aviation industry.

en www.acronymfinder.com una de las acepciones para las siglas CRES es corrosion resistant steel, es decir, acero resistente a la corrosión que no sé si es exactamente lo mismo (si tiene las mismas propiedades que el acero inoxidable) Te recomiendo que mires en la página www.mundoacero.com, donde tambíen hay un diccionario ing-esp (aunque este término no aparece).

Thank you very much Charles.

: Cierto, pero el CORTEN no es inoxidable, Taña: yo pondría "Aleaciones de aluminio, aceros resistentes a la corrosión (acrónimo en inglés, CRES), o Ti." Incluso consideraría omitir el "cres"

cress for CRES
I am quite certain that, as Taña says, "cress" refers here to CRES:
13. What does the term "CRES" mean?
Answer: CRES is something used to designate stainless steel. It stands for Corrosion RESistant steel. It does not necessarily mean that the steel is in fact stainless steel as there are other materials that are corrosion resistant but not stainless steel.
http://www.ssina.com/faq/index.html#13
The spelling "cress", with double-s, is clearly a mistake, but is not unprecedented. Here is another example:
TOWING & LIFTING
. bow large towing D rings, reinforced (cress w/ black coating) : 1 + 1
. aft large towing D rings, reinforced (cress w/ black coating) : 1 + 1
. bow large lifting D rings, reinforced (cress w/ black coating) : 1 + 1
. transom lifting points (U-bolts, cress) : 1 + 1
http://www.zodiacmilpro.com/tds/FC470Evol7.pdf
This matter is complicated by the fact that Cress is also the name of a company that manufacturers kilns, among other metal goods, but that has nothing to do with this question.

"CRES" is not common in Spanish, but it is occasionally found in the context of aeronautical engineering.
Here is a quotation from the CV of an "Ingeniero de diseño aeronáutico" named Daniel Gorbea Ainz:
"Conocimientos en el Diseño:
Diseño de estructuras de Material Compuesto: Paneles Sandwich, sistemas
Diseño de partes metálicas (aluminio, titanio, CRES). Mecanizados y conformados."
http://es.linkedin.com/pub/daniel-gorbea-ainz/13/835/349
And this is from a Mexican document on the landing gear of a Boeing 737:
"Ensamble del actuador del tren principal retraído
1. Descripción
A. Es un tipo pistón hidráulico que consta de un CRES pistón, montaje de barril CRES y de una cabeza de biela CRES". There are several further similar mentions of CRES in this document.
http://itzamna.bnct.ipn.mx:8080/dspace/bitstream/123456789/5...
It seems, therefore, that "CRES" can be used in Spanish in the aeronautical sector.

By the way, "acero corten" or "weathing steel" is not the same thing; see

I agree with psicutrinius: add an explanation. In fact Taña's answer is just about right. The Mexican document I quote is a thesis, and certainly the author has copied the passage quoted straight from an EN source (forgetting to translate "CRES piston". Obviously "CRES" is an imported acronym, but it is (apparently) recognised in aeronautics, and it surely wouldn't be a good idea to put an inaccurate alternative like "acero inoxidable" or "acero corten".

psicutrinius
: I wouldn't use "CRES" in Spanish without its description. Aeronautics imports both acronyms and English words. A "CRES Piston"? Author doesn't know what he is talking about: Should be "un pistón de CRES". Same for "barril" ("barrel" in original?).
