ASTM A182 Grade F2 vs. SAE-AISI 50B46 Steel

Both ASTM A182 grade F2 and SAE-AISI 50B46 steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the annealed condition. They have a very high 99% 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 F2 and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI 50B46 steel.
