Green & White compounds reversed?

[edit]

The table & descriptions look wrong to me. Over several years & from numerous sources I have heard of Green (chromium oxide) and white (aluminium oxide) being somewhat interchangeable but normally with white - not green - being recommended for stainless steel and green being recommended for carbon steel/tool steel. Also the justification for this is typically that white is finer & green is more abrasive (on the basis that Stainless steel is supposedly usually softer than carbon tool steel & other common steels). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 135.196.5.155 (talk) 12:50, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
