The Essential Guide to the Key to Steel App for Android

The "Key to Steel" app is a digital successor to the famous Stahlschlüssel pocket book. Its primary purpose is Cross-Referencing: allowing you to take a steel designation from one country (e.g., a German DIN number) and instantly find its equivalent in another standard (e.g., ASTM, AISI, JIS, or GB).
