ACI-ASTM CC50 Steel vs. ASTM A356 Grade 1

Both ACI-ASTM CC50 steel and ASTM A356 grade 1 are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the heat treated (HT) condition. They have 69% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 24 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (9, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ACI-ASTM CC50 steel and the bottom bar is ASTM A356 grade 1.
