ACI-ASTM CH20 Steel vs. Grade 250 Maraging Steel

Both ACI-ASTM CH20 steel and grade 250 maraging steel are iron alloys. They have 74% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 23 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (12, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ACI-ASTM CH20 steel and the bottom bar is grade 250 maraging steel.
