ASTM A182 Grade F3VCb vs. SAE-AISI 4012 Steel

Both ASTM A182 grade F3VCb and SAE-AISI 4012 steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the annealed condition. They have a very high 96% 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 F3VCb and the bottom bar is SAE-AISI 4012 steel.
