ASTM A182 Grade FR vs. ACI-ASTM CN3M Steel

Both ASTM A182 grade FR and ACI-ASTM CN3M steel are iron alloys. They have 50% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 30 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (4, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM A182 grade FR and the bottom bar is ACI-ASTM CN3M steel.
