Supplementary notes
As regulated by the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), ordinary steel is carbon steel, which does not require heat treatment and contains silicon, manganese, phosphor, or sulfur. Special steel, in contrast, is steel alloyed with other elements like chromium, nickel, molybdenum, or vanadium and has received heat treatment.
