Talk:41xx steel

Chemistry Data

The Chemistry Data is terrible! What do all the column title abbreviations (single letter!) mean? I can Guess at some but what is %P? Can someone who knows make this better? Putting links to the article about the column measurement would be nice (like an article about whatever %P means)Rusl (talk) 05:06, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

It's actually P %, which means percentage of phosphorus in the alloy. The abbreviations for the elements can be expanded, but then the table will grow quite big. --Wizard191 (talk) 12:53, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Merge

Chromoly and 41xx series steels are the same thing. --Wizard191 (talk) 00:32, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Please don't combine these. They may be the same thing, but many don't know that. I didn't know that. I searched for Chromoly and found this page, which was very useful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.134.100.100 (talk) 08:24, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

If/when I merge these you can still search for Chromoly and there would be an explanation in the article about Chromoly being a slang term for 41xx steels. --Wizard191 (talk) 12:40, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Does the AISI designation apply Worldwide or is it strictly an American thing? If I'm in Russia or Australia and ask for 41xx steel will they know what I mean? If it's a Worldwide designation and they will, then merging is fine. If it's an Americanism and not akin to an ISO standard then the articles should remain seperate.

I think its fine to merge it as long as the chromoly page seys "see 41XX steel" on it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.204.78.231 (talk) 03:02, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
