ASTM A36 Carbon Steel vs. ASTM Grade HG10 MNN Steel

Both ASTM A36 carbon steel and ASTM grade HG10 MNN steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition. They have 63% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 30 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (3, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM A36 carbon steel and the bottom bar is ASTM grade HG10 MNN steel.
