ACI-ASTM CB30 Steel vs. ASTM Grade HC Steel

Both ACI-ASTM CB30 steel and ASTM grade HC steel are iron alloys. They have 90% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 28 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (4, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ACI-ASTM CB30 steel and the bottom bar is ASTM grade HC steel.
