ASTM A182 Grade F122 vs. ASTM Grade LC2 Steel

Both ASTM A182 grade F122 and ASTM grade LC2 steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the normalized and tempered condition. They have 85% 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 ASTM A182 grade F122 and the bottom bar is ASTM grade LC2 steel.
