ASTM A182 Grade F3V vs. SAE-AISI A6 Steel

Both ASTM A182 grade F3V and SAE-AISI A6 steel are iron alloys. They have a very high 97% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 24 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (9, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM A182 grade F3V and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI A6 steel.
