Steel Comparison Chart

[jayharley]

When I changed to a new computer, I lost some of my "favorite places" web sites. There are a few information charts comparing various types of steels, with both their positive and negative traits listed.

Can anyone guide me to some of the better info sheets like this? I am not a metallurgist, so I am not really interested in highly technical information. Just good old basic info. Thanks.

It's not in chart form, but Joe's steel FAQ describes properties:

If you do to the Spyderco website it has a chart and another page with some descriptions (as I remember).

I kind of like the little steel table at Linder.de since if gives typical rockwell along with composition.
