Enter two or three grades, or click an example. You get the ISO 513 positions the manufacturers publish for each grade and whether their charts pair them, instantly. An AI write-up on coating, strengths and limits is one click further.
Chart answer: manufacturer-published grade comparison charts. AI write-up: public, source-backed information, not-verified fields marked. Verify on a sample part before production.
Line the two grades up by ISO application position (P, M, K, N, S, H and the sub-range such as P25), then compare coating type, substrate and intended operation. Grades at the same position do comparable work; differences in coating and geometry explain the rest. Comparison is a starting point, verify on a sample part.
