Added and corrected all AISI 10xx series steels in the database. To be precise, all of the steels starting from 1044 and ending with 1095 steel are now in the database and now have exact specifications as per SAE standard. Corrected 1018 steel composition and added 1020 steel composition. Neither of those two is a good knife steel, but both areused in pattern weld damascus.

Special thanks to Fellow foodie - khman, for finding the problem. It was missing Cobalt in the composition, whooping 8.50% of it ;) One of the elements that makes this steel go up to 70HRC working hardness.

THere was a problem in JavaScript, for the case when single alloy was loaded in comparison mode. Exception was preventing proper data initialization, even though user interface looked ok. The correct record index was not added to the internal query string builder data, so adding a new alloy to comparison list was resulting in missing data on some occasions. Fix was successfully tested, and you might need to force page refresh to get a new version of the script.

Fixed existing compositions and added missing ones for the Japanese, JIS standard SK series tool steels. Straight from the JIS G4401 standard, 2006 edition. So the data is precise. Also, added corresponding W-Nr and some of the GOST names I cold find.

Added compositions for all the Cnn series alloys, which translates into AISI 10nn series. Interestingly, euro standards have two for each series, ordinary quality and high quality, where ordinary alloys have 0.045% S and P, and high quality version has 0.035% of those two. High quality alloys are denoted wit the K before the number, e.g. C75 and CK75.

Added about two dozen new names, mainly EN and JIS standard names for stainless and cold work tool steels. Several new compositions for the alloys as well.

Small update, some revisions. Nothing really exciting about that knife anyway. They're still doing the same thing too. I mean the on purpose confusing website. Other than that, the blade is completely dull, and I still haven't taken the micrographs of the now completely dull edge. Will do sometimes later.

In some cases links to certain alloys returned empty result. Tuned up search algorithm to pick up alloy information based on just the name. For now it returns the first available match. I'll tune it further to return the best match later on.

Mostly EN and BS standard names for the stainless steels. Few proprietary names form Ovako Steel. And working on the Andoid app as a main project.

There was a problem handling alloy names with the + sign in the middle, theones with the + at the end were ok. though. Fix was implemented and tested successfully :) Hopefully that's it for now and I'm back to coding Android steel chart 2.0
