Change the amounts of the components on the left (Carbon, Vanadium, and Phosphorus) to change the statistics of your steel: Wear Resistance (How hard), Shock Resistance (How brittle), Corrosion Resistance & Weight. Changing the amounts of components will change, not only the steel stats but also the quality of the steel and the cost of the steel. To get the best steel you want high wear, shock, and corrosion, but low weight .
