GUIDED TOUR

Tour 2: Selecting material(s) by country/standard and group

Professionals often have to get acquainted with the properties of the whole group of the materials defined by some standards, usually from some foreign country. 

Of course, you can do all this in more classic way, from the books. If you have books and the standards from all over the world!

Now look how you'll do it with Key to Steel. It is faster and more interesting. And remember...

You can do it from wherever and whenever you want. You don't need to carry your whole library home, to hotel room, client's site and everywhere you are going.

 

Step 1: Choosing a search option

Suppose that you want to learn more about European (Euronorm) tool steels.

First you have to choose a search option. To select materials by group (group: Tool steels ), you are using Advanced Search option.

Step 2: Defining search criteria

To define the search criteria, all you have to do is to select European Union (Euronorm - EN) from the country's pop-up list and to check box Tool steels .

When you click Submit button, Key to Steel search engine will in a few seconds select all Euronorm tool steels and display them in the list!

Please note that, in order to boost search engine's performance, list length is limited to 500 materials. If a query generates list with more than 500 materials, it has to be refined.

Step 3: Selecting a material from the list of the results

Selecting materials by country and group generally results in list of steel materials that satisfy criteria you gave.

Depending on given criteria, this list can be quite large (up to 500 materials), so it is displayed in pages. By using navigation buttons, you can navigate through the pages, jump to the beginning or the end of the list or go to specific page.

If you are interested in properties of some specific material from the list, you can click on its designation. To find out how to view material properties, please refer to steps 4, 5 and 6 of Tour 1.
