ACI-ASTM CD6MN Steel vs. Grade FDCrV Steel

Both ACI-ASTM CD6MN steel and grade FDCrV steel are iron alloys. They have 67% 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 CD6MN steel and the bottom bar is grade FDCrV steel.
