ASTM A182 Grade F23 vs. SAE-AISI L3 Steel

Both ASTM A182 grade F23 and SAE-AISI L3 steel are iron alloys. They have a very high 97% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 23 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (10, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM A182 grade F23 and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI L3 steel.
