ACI-ASTM CA15 Steel vs. SAE-AISI D2 Steel

Both ACI-ASTM CA15 steel and SAE-AISI D2 steel are iron alloys. They have a very high 97% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 29 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (5, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ACI-ASTM CA15 steel and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI D2 steel.
