ASTM A182 Grade F5 vs. Grade FDSiCr Steel

Both ASTM A182 grade F5 and grade FDSiCr steel are iron alloys. They have a moderately high 95% 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 F5 and the bottom bar is grade FDSiCr steel.
