ACI-ASTM CG12 Steel vs. AISI 418 Stainless Steel

Both ACI-ASTM CG12 steel and AISI 418 stainless steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the heat treated (HT) condition. They have 81% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 32 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (2, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ACI-ASTM CG12 steel and the bottom bar is AISI 418 stainless steel.
