ACI-ASTM CF16Fa Steel vs. Grade FDSiCrV Steel

Both ACI-ASTM CF16Fa steel and grade FDSiCrV steel are iron alloys. They have 70% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 25 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (8, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ACI-ASTM CF16Fa steel and the bottom bar is grade FDSiCrV steel.
