ACI-ASTM CT15C Steel vs. ASTM Grade LC2-1 Steel

Both ACI-ASTM CT15C steel and ASTM grade LC2-1 steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the normalized and tempered condition. They have 50% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 31 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 CT15C steel and the bottom bar is ASTM grade LC2-1 steel.
