ACI-ASTM CB30 Steel vs. ACI-ASTM CB6 Steel

Both ACI-ASTM CB30 steel and ACI-ASTM CB6 steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the heat treated (HT) condition. They have a very high 96% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 28 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 CB30 steel and the bottom bar is ACI-ASTM CB6 steel.
