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.

Thanks to DrNaka of FF for this one, YSS Shirogamis all had wrong Mn content. Fixed.

Added compositions CSN 19132, CSN 19152, CSN 19191, CSN 19192PH, CSN 19221. Added standard names for W1, 420J2.

Added CSN standard name and Bohler-Uddeholm name for the AISI 410 steel.

After few months of hard and hot so hard work, it's alive. 357 alloys, 1005 names for them, including standard and proprietary names. This is the base for the more flexible chart. No more loss of data and new alloys and new standard names can be added very easily. After all the SQL optimizations I hope knife chart will work faster as well. Despite of much larger amount of data.

Arrived yesterday. It too a lot longer and couple handle replacements till the whole thing worked out right. Looks very good now :) First test use is today. Obviously I forgot what's the wood in it. Pix and updated review next week.

Added 3 new steels to the knife steel charts, even though I had that on halt. New steels are Nitrobe 77, Daido 1K6M and AISI A8 Mod.

Yay :) Steel charts went live on Oct. 12 2009. And 20K hits in less than 3 months. Well, pretty good for quite specific page like that.

Finally! Just finished entering/converting data from old(well, current) steel charts to the new one. I have more data I need to enter, but that's new alloys and not co crucial names. It can wait until I am done coding. As of today, there are 348 different alloy composition records with 959 names for them.

Too tired for today, so I figure I'll finish the job tomorrow. For now it's over 340 alloy composition records, and over 900 names for them including proprietary names and standard names. After that back to coding...
