calculate_steel_property — Run one published steel formula over numbers you supply — PREN, carbon equivalent, preheat temperature, weld heat input or weld cooling time.
compare_materials — Compare two named steel grades element by element, side by side, each figure citing the source that states it.
search_steel_composition — Find steel grades whose chemical composition falls inside the element windows you give, written Symbol:min-max — for example Cr:16-18.
lookup_steel_material — Resolve one steel designation, material number or alias to the material it names, together with every other designation that material carries and its chemical composition, each figure citing the source that states it.
