ACI-ASTM CF8C Steel vs. ACI-ASTM CG8M Steel

Both ACI-ASTM CF8C steel and ACI-ASTM CG8M 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 32 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (1, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ACI-ASTM CF8C steel and the bottom bar is ACI-ASTM CG8M steel.
