[TheForge] Decoding steel code

[theforge@mailman.qth.net]

       Could someone tell me how to decode the numbers with steel such as 
B1065 or W1  O1 or where I could look to figure it out. I am wanting to get 
some tool steel to make Repousse punches and would like to be able to figure 
out how the steel was made and what is in it. Hope this makes since I work 
with gold and such don't no anything about steel.

       Thanks
