Actually this affects both, knife steel composition chart and steel composition comparison graph. The new code works as per following: a) for the chart - if A.k.a. in Notes flag is set, alternate names are combined with notes, and in addition each name has corresponding standard or maker name appended; b) in the steel composition comparison graph - if the graph is generated for the single alloy alternate names have standard or maker appended.

Note title was still showing proprietary name even though consolidation setting was turned on and standard name did exist. Fixed. Now, during consolidation if the standard name for the alloy exists it becomes the note title, otherwise alloy proprietary name is used.

Sort by and descending form parameters were not set according to the query of form settings. Fixed, settings are correct for both cases.

Benchmade is planning to make a new knives out of Bohler-Uddeholm N680 steel. As such, it had to be added to the knife steel charts obviously :) Full name is Antinit N680. Interesting part is the presence of the Nitrogen, but for whatever reason Bohler doesn't specify the exact amount of it.

Using cookies obviously. Currently 4 settings from the search forms View Options group are saved when the Save button is clicked. Next time the chart is loaded it will restore the settings and use them, unless they were overridden by form or query parameters.

Fixed the bug with incorrect links in the Name column when using standard names. Instead of the alloy name it was linked to standard name, preventing graph from building when the link was clicked. However, the checkbox selected alloys were properly handled.

KF guys noted Carpenter CTS-XPH was missing, which made me review the charts. Incorrectly placed 440XH into D2 group, in fact it is a proprietary steel and 440XH is the same CTS=XPH. Added notes and created approprite name group for this alloy.
