Fixed origin data for many steels. Updated and corrected alloying element properties and their effects on the steel. 276 records total.

just got Shun Chukabocho, honesuki and Henckel Miyabi knives for sharpening. All three have pretty messed up edges, chukabocho apparently was used as a meat cleaver, the other two are slightly better, but really messed up anyway. Microscope pix and sharpening this weekend.

Enter is processed by graph form to execute submit action. Unfortunately the bug in JS code intercepted Enter key event even if the user typed new URL in the address bar and thus prevented the user from going to another page. All ok. now. If you type the new address in URL bar it will work as it's supposed to. Inside the graph Enter is still handled properly and executes new form generation request.

Today's additions are: Uddeholm Chipper, S590, S790, K890, Dorrenberg-Edelstahl PMD M4, PMD23, PMD30, PMD60 and Carpenter Technology Corporation's - Carpenter M42, variation on M42 theme so to speak. I think I'll start combining records for the identical AISI steels and specify ranges manufacturers allow. Doesn't make much sense to have few records for A2 or S7...

Improved event handling and overall code size on knife steel database table. IE still sucks, their javascript engine to be precise. Dunno what else can I do to make it faster. Shrunk JS code size 50%. Given the table data size that's not gonna affect overall page loading times by significant margin, but still an improvement never the less.

From now, by default steel comparison graph will only show elements or element groups that have at least one non zero value in them. In other words, for a single steel scenario only non zero elements are shown, i.e. what this alloy actually contains, and for multiple steel comparison cases element will be shown in the graph only if at least one steel in the selection group contains it. You still can force the graph to display only certain elements regardless their content in the ally by selecting the desired set of the chemical elements in the graph settings dialog, which is invoked by clicking the More button.

Today's additions were: CSN 17042, X105CrC0Mo18-2, X40Cr13, X55CrMo14, AN-58, and more interesting Ravne23 PM steel and Ravne30 PM steel. Fixed data for most of the CSN steels. The source I used initially apparently listed average values instead of the value ranges.

Unbelievable, but fact :) I did manage to save some time with all the interactive knife steel chart related activities to finish up the preliminary review of this amazing knife. It's all there, save for actual usage data, which hasn't happened yet.

Today's additions are: Vertex, DuraTech Pyrovan HC, CRV2, HAP40, HAP50, PMD440, RN15X, K190, S7 XL, Double Six, M2 EUR. This batch was a pretty good international mix. US, Japan, Sweden, Germany. All major steel manufacturers in short. Some really interesting specimens too.
