Grade 200 Maraging Steel vs. Ductile Cast Iron
Both grade 200 maraging steel and ductile cast iron are iron alloys. They have 70% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 24 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (10, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is grade 200 maraging steel and the bottom bar is ductile cast iron.
