ASTM A182 Grade F3V vs. Grade VDCrV Steel

Both ASTM A182 grade F3V and grade VDCrV steel are iron alloys. They have a very high 96% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 26 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (7, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM A182 grade F3V and the bottom bar is grade VDCrV steel.
