ASTM A203 Steel vs. ASTM Grade LC2-1 Steel

Both ASTM A203 steel and ASTM grade LC2-1 steel are iron alloys. There are 30 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (3, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM A203 steel and the bottom bar is ASTM grade LC2-1 steel.
