The V3 Wootz Calculator is the most advanced version yet, designed to help smiths, metallurgists, and experimenters create and refine custom Wootz and ultra-high-carbon steel recipes.

✨ What’s New in V3

• Two Calculator Modes

  • Calculate by Ingredient – Add feed materials directly, just like in earlier versions.

  • Calculate by Element Percentage – Work backwards from target chemistry by setting percentages for C, Mn, Cr, V, P, and more. The calculator figures out exact weights for each ingredient.

• Total Ingot Weight & Filler Material

  • Define the overall ingot weight.

  • Choose a filler material (such as iron or mild steel) to make up the balance.

• Interactive Notes Section

  • Built-in editor lets you add formatted notes, bullet points, and even images to each recipe.

• Recipe Ratings System

  • Rate recipes in categories like:

    • 🌀 Pattern Formation

    • 🔨 Forgeability

    • ⭐ Overall Performance

• Dynamic Results Modal

  • Results are displayed in a clean pop-up modal.

  • When you calculate, a loading animation of a wootz ingot sets the stage—ending with your recipe results.

  • Results can then be printed out with all of the information that you need. A PDF will be created that can either be saved to your computer or printed out. 

• Recipe Management

  • Save, edit, and delete recipes.

  • Organize personal feed materials with full CRUD support (create, update, delete).

  • Keep detailed histories with timestamps.
