That + sign was a trouble all over the places... In the alloy notes, it was incorrectly displayed as $ symbol. Fixed that too.

The chart and the graph were incorrectly handling the + sigh that appeared in the new alloy name, Bimax42+ steel, if you want to be precise. Fixed the issue.

Fixed composition of the 90MnCrV8 cold work tool steel, Euro equivalent of the AISI O2 tool steel. New - Sandvik 7C27Mo2 steel composition.

After 7 month of search and research, it went over 2000 names on Friday night. Now you can identify over 2000 steels by their names and there's over 500 alloy compositions in the chart. There's more to come, including Titanium alloys which are completely missing now.

Alloy names are sorted by standard and then maker. So, when viewing detailed info about particular steel, standard names come first, then maker's names sorted alphabetically. Makes it easier to find names for steels with 40+ different names :) Sane principle works in the knife steel composition chart, the names in the A.K.A column or notes are sorted the same way.

After adding last entry checked the stats, WOW! 500 alloy compositions and 1960 names. And I know quite a few alloys not in the chart, and most likely there's bunch of others that aren't in the chart, but I dunno about them. Anyway, it's a good milestone :) I figure at some point I'll switch back to coding/feature enhancements.

Added AISI M52 tool steel composition, with several standard and proprietary names for it. Also, solved the mystery with DIN 1.3302 being listed as AISI T15 tool steel on some sites. In the end it was simple, AISI A7 tool steel is very similar to AISI T15, except it has no Cobalt in it. That was it. Added over a dozen new names for A7 as well.

Several less known cutlery steels from world steel catalog.

Mostly AFNOR and EN standard names, plus a few DIN names for several tool and bearing steels.

Added Carpenter CTS-BD1 steel. New alloy, Spyderco lists it in their knife steel charts. Added 1.3333 high speed tool steel.
