Good Find!
I'll re post the comparison with the corrections.
From what I can find Carpenter 158 is a proprietary Steel Alloy of Carpenter.
According to Ridgerider's find at http://www.industrialmetalsales.com/...d-Bar_c379.htm Carpenter 158 is AISI P-6.
Per azom.com:

Their mechanical properties seem to be identical. It's only their chemical makeup that we see a difference. Now I'm REALLY interested into why Bill A. and Mark at PF chooses to use 9310.
